The building work has had its ups and downs but is progressing fast. A few photos from the last week. The foundations are laid:
Then they begin to prepare to make the floor:
After the concrete floor had gone down:
The walls are now up:
And the holes for the windows are in place:
And they were nearly in the wrong place! I happened to go out to bring the clothes off the line yesterday afternoon, glanced over at what the workmen were doing, and decided to take a closer look. There had been a misunderstanding, and they were putting them in way down at the end of the room, right next to where our built-in cupboards are going to be, and where we wouldn't get any air circulating over our bed! I ran to ask Marc about it, he went out to speak to them, and fortunately since the mortar was still wet they were able to correct it and put them where we wanted them!
Finally, a photo of the cement being mixed - no cement-mixers here except the human kind!
