I forgot to mention on Thursday that the interal doors did arrive, and we found space for them. Here they are stacked on the floor of the large front bedroom:
Today [Friday], saints be praised, the windows were finished. And so the front now looks like this:
The back looks like this:
And the side entrance from the patio into the dining room is thus:
As you can see from the back, block cutting went ahead on the living room wall for the patio doors.
I said previously I had been expecting the breakthrough from the landing to the master bedroom to happen today, but instead they just removed the glass from the landing window. You can see the pencil lines on the wall where the cutting will be happening:
On the other side, it's apparent that they did make a start on the cutting, but then abandoned it:
In the bathroom, we have our satinised window with a clear border (though our cistern lid was a casualty of the installation):
However, the window where the en suite will be is not satinised. We may get that replaced, but we will definitely complain about it.
The yellow paint on the wall is from the electrician, who appears to have been surveying the place today, marking locations of sockets and switches. He must have been frustrated by the furniture and piles of stuff stacked next to the walls around the house, but without due notice there's not much we can do about that.
So, siege mode continues, and is likely to become even more siege-like. Since the phasing of works is tending to fall by the wayside we are going to have to pack up our worldly possessions and make them unobtrusive, starting now.
Good job we still have the boxes from when we moved in.
