Day 344. Guttering

So its now thursday; oddly enough the "we'll be finished on wednesday" didn't occur, any more than any of the other finish dates have. While we were away they were supposed to have painted out the kitchen; they haven't. Of course it sat empty for months on end when they could easily have painted it then. But I think Bob has this fixed "paint at the end of the job" attitude. While we're on the kitchen, the ceiling seems to have a slight leak... at least, it was wet inside near the front... Gavin reckons a problem near the Velux, and promises a roofer to look at it. In fact I must remind him of that...

The render coat is now finished though. Its pink; an OK colour I think. Certainly we seem to be able to live with it.

Tim is working to finish the chippy type stuff: the panelling around the toilet looks good; around the bath is OK. He and Gavin are now putting up the guttering, which has sat in our driveway for so long.

And the painters are painting away. They should be able to clear at least the small, and D's, bedroom by friday, which would be rather nice, so that Ma will have somewhere to sleep.
