The photo’s…
February 19, 2009
As promised some pictures of the progress in Glendale. The parking to the left of the house is taking shape. Raymond had moved all the rubble of the old extension and made preparations for digging the foundations. Most of the rubble was used as hard core for the parking. Apparently the old extension did NOT have any foundations… Tomorrow afternoon the digging work for the water pipe will start.
Unfortunately the problems with the dumper truck grew worse. The fan belt broke completely, so we had to give up on it. Luckily Raymond managed to get another dumper on site quickly so we did not have any major delays.
Icky was on the roof removing the old concrete tiles. After removing them we found that the sarking board was not as good as we had thought. Quite a bit of wood worm. We probably need to replace it…. Inside Icky had finished re pointing the north faced gable wall. I think it looks absolutely stunning!

Re-pointed wall does indeed look stunning. LOTS of work - on track for Summer lettings then?
Hmmm… not sure although time wise it would probably work. The building is quite damp yet. We don’t want to rush things and end up with all kinds of damp related problems. Hoping for a summer like last year, really… so it can dry out properly.
