Order of work

The ventilation engineers were back today and probably wished that they had spent the morning fitting the external fan unit and the afternoon doing the internal work. That's because the morning was dry and the afternoon... wasn't. They claim they'll be back on Monday to finish off.

Meanwhile the plasterers didn't show today, but the plasterboarding is complete in the function room and residents' lounge. If the plasterers come tomorrow then the temporary partition at the foot of the stairs can be removed.

We have three Aussies, two English and three workmen (painters working on the new Tesco in Galashiels) staying tonight.
