The biggest news of the week was that the building inspector gave us the go-ahead for the next phase of the renovation. On receiving that on Friday morning, we immediately started laying the floor insulation. We hope to complete that by Monday so we can lay the sub-floor.
The plumbers have been in, too, and we now have running fresh water. They have put in all the pipes for the heating, connected them all up and tested them. Next week, they will work on the two toilets and, using the fact that we don’t have a ceiling in the bar, prep the first floor.
The ladies’ loo has received its first coats of paint, with the remaining plasterboard inserted, and the floor levelled. As it is a priority for the grand opening, we aim to be tiling it next week. In the gents, Alan and Gerry have finished the pointing, allowing all of the feature brickwork to be sealed. Other work has been done in there too, but fair to say we need to have a blitz on it to catch up with the ladies.
