Dwanging away

You'll have to look carefully to see any progress here

... but progress there has been. For one thing there's a lot more pieces of wood there than there was yesterday. For another, there is some new woodwork at right angles to the main wall and that will form the doorway to the smaller room. The little horizontal braces are called "dwangs" in Scotland hence the title of the post. There will be some more flooring tomorrow before the plasterboard starts to go up.

D*** was here today and good progress was made in deciding the course of action for the next few months. Once the current work is over, nothing more will happen until the winter. Of course at the current rate of progress that may not leave much of a gap.

We've accepted the quote for the ventilation system and that'll be installed in a couple of weeks time. I'm going to sort the problem with the shower in Rm 5 (the handle falls off) myself as the plumber's on holiday for two weeks.
