A long boring story about doors

...is something I'll spare you. Suffice it to say we have exhausted every avenue of off-the-shelf internal doors and there is nothing suitable. We have been very close, but of the last two candidates one had poorly proportioned panels and the other could not be supplied unglazed. So we're back to where we were some time ago, looking at expensive custom-made doors. We already had a supplier in mind for this, and the joiner who will probably be doing our front door is also a possibility.

Meanwhile, we finally got our window handles ordered. The shop gave us a bit of a discount, with the understanding that we'll be buying our light switches and sockets from them, which is fair enough as they have nice stuff.

Work on the foundations continues. They seem to be filling in the gaps in the concrete frame at the moment. New shuttering is going on top of it, and that is presumably to hold the floor which is scheduled to be installed next week.


More work is being done on the drainage trench I mentioned yesterday: it's wider than it was.


Inside, the large quantites of dust in the kitchen indicate that they're still hard at it under the stairs.


The orange waste pipe sticking up on the right is new, having been poked in from the extension site.

They've also seen fit to punch a hole in the kitchen ceiling near here. Part of the investigations around removing the walls from around this area, I'm guessing.
