Day 23: More sparks and glass in

Today the electrician (Carl) actually does something, in fact a hard days work to get most of the wiring in (and the cat-5 cable? Yes we think so). Talk in the morning: because of the roof type, he can't just run stuff down from the ceiling as he would like to, so finally settles for running it up from the floor, and will confirm with SoBtB that this will be OK (we're fairly sure it is, because there will be insulation on top of the current floor and below the new level).

Also ?Barry? the carpenter is back to put the glass panes in the "floating effect" bit, there are a few rough edges there.

Gavin and another turn up at 2 and deliver piles and bales of roofing insulation and roofing felt and gas cylinders and stuff. They need me to move the vine out of the way a bit by tomorrow - do this.

Later: Ian stops by for a look round. Discuss progress: in general good, esp if they can do the roof tomorrow as promised. There are a few quibbles: one of the roof beams is a bit twisted. Some need sanding. These are probably trivia. On phase 2: Valerie will serve the party wall stuff on monday (something has gone a bit wrong on all this since we should have been doing this a month or more ago), but we might be doing phase 2 as 2a and 2b, 2a being the kitchen. This is apparently OK. Mention the roof thingy: Ian will talk that over with BtB, up to now its been a flight of fancy, though passed by planning. Well, progress. They have started on 2 BW as well: big concrete pouring.

ps: sorry no pics, I've taken them, but uploading is a bit slow: and I've been playing Civ.
