I lied! We did finish today. We’ve finished the floor    Big Grin 

                     

   

We had a friend come help us today. So it was 2 mixing & 2 laying. It worked really well and we got loads done. 

That is definitely a milestone in the build.

Definitely celebrating with a couple of beers. We’ve not got all the walls yet  Blush . 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  Big Grin Wink  ). 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 privyBig Grin

Yes and yes  Big Grin . 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  Angry . Bob had yet another complete brain fart and put a screw though the underfloor heating pipe! 

I’m steaming    Angry . 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  Angry .
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.
