Fantastic!! You deserve to celebrate this evening!
You have a roof, walls and a floor now. What comes next? I'm not pushing you, honest, just curious.

Still got to put one pretty much through the middle of the house. To separate bedrooms, and separate bathroom & dining room( that could be some awkward dining experiences  ). And utility & kitchen. That’s not a priority job. Next jobs is solar panels fitted on the roof and outside drainage & treatment plant.

We’ve been busy sorting, organising, working out stuff, ordering.
Started the ball rolling on getting electric connected. Wow that’s a brain melting minefield!
Ordered our treatment plant. A bit of wheeling and dealing has gone on.
Big delivery of timber arrived today for our internal walls.
This + 3 sheets of 18mm OSB. Cost an eye watering amount.
And very existing the wood for my polytunnel.

Getting your head round that lot would require a stiff drink in the evening. Treatment plant? For sewage? Does it mean digging big holes for a privy

Treatment plant for sewage. And yes digging big holes. With the added bonus of having to put a concrete pad at the bottom of the hole for the treatment plant to sit on.

Yesterday wasn’t a good day in the building department !
First the electric box we’ve been waiting to arrive for 2 week. Arrived damaged.
Second. Bob happened  . Bob had yet another complete brain fart and put a screw though the underfloor heating pipe!
I’m steaming . I’d said earlier in the day mark out the doors. But no . Mr I never ****ing listen to the other half, knows better. So now we’re wasting more time and money waiting for connectors to arrive. To fix his **** up .
He is never being left to do anything else in that ****ing house alone again.

Chill out, chilli, accidents happen. No doubt Bob feels bad about it. Give him a kiss and make him a nice tea. Everyone makes mistakes. They can be painful.The important thing is to not make the same mistake twice.
