It'll all be over by Christmas - Official!!

14 December is the new completion date.  Which has a day's contingency in it...  We will hand in our notice to Bev accordingly.  And hope....
Meanwhile, today's report:
Ground Control - James the Digger, his dad and their No2 Connor (left) - are hard at work facing the gabions after we spent an hour or so working out how to circle the square this morning - the ones they've filled so far look gorgeous - but will my grand plan of a deconstructed stone and flint wall work?  We will know soon!  Inside, the pantry shelving is all built, the hearth stone is down and the oak flooring has been delivered.  The screed is down to 6% moisture, it has to be below 5% before they can fit the flooring - this is planned for late next week so hopefully it should be ok.

The decorators have put quite a lot more paint on the walls.  More bits are appearing slowly in the bathrooms. 
Guttering is going up and looks splendid - although the boys are cursing us as it's stainless steel and instead of clipping together like any gutter I've ever installed, it's riveted and then sealed.  Some of which obviously has to happen in situ.  And finally, out the front, the drive is getting the MOT roadstone layer (technical update for John) en route to the top coat.
