A lot of internal work is under way - so it seems little progress is being made, but its only when you look inside you can see the amount of work required to take the house to the next stage of plaster out.
We are just sorting out the plumbing - so what goes where in preperation for the plumber who arrives shortly to start putting in the pipes, and also where all the electric sockets and switches go. I have also decided to wire the main rooms with Cat6 cable to allow fast broadband to each room, although we have wireless routers, cables will be a much faster and more reliable way to give internet access. I am hoping to future proof on the basis that one day all movies will come straight off the internet - and that will require high speed connections.
I have also decided to try and automate the music systems, so using Logitech Duet boxes, each of the main rooms will have built in speakers and access to all the music stored on a central server. Still got to figure all the wiring and shielding with the electrician, but fingers crossed, in theory it all looks ok!
Here you can see the slate roof being laid on the Apex, and it looks really good - I think the choice of the Del Carman Ultra slate has been a good one.
Everything is now sealed from the elements internally, all windows are in place as are a couple of the 'conservation' velux windows, which you can see here.
Below you can see some of the 'noggins' being put in place, they are the horizontal strips of wood in the middle of the picture, and are there to support the plaster board around the many twists and turns of the structure of the eaves.
Below Rob has put in some battens to help him line up the 'edges' of wood which you can see running diagonally from left to right, used to support the plasterboard.
