Oh you thought we were done?

I should really have posted this update ages ago, rather than at the last minute. But things did move on quite quickly after February.

We did finally get those TV cables sorted out, following a visit from a very nice man from the cable company.


The overhead wire at the back was redirected too, so now it's only the garden that lets the side down from the outside. We did contact a landscaper over the summer, and he promised to get back to us in September, but nothing's happened. There's no recession in the garden industry it would seem. Still, with the evenings drawing in we soon won't have to look at the outside much any more.

I'd totally forgotten about the dampness in the en suite mentioned in my last post. That was sorted out when the builder dug out the specs for the fan which our clownish electricians installed and noticed that it had been hooked up all wrong -- through the roof instead of the eaves. That was put right, though we now have two vestigial fan ducts in our roof. Idiots.

What prompts this very late post is the last major(ish) bit of work, and the reason we haven't paid the builders in full yet: the front hall. It got replastered after the last lot sloughed off, leaving just the radiator to be attached:


Except, smooth and all that that looks, it's still making hollow sounds in places and is laced with fine cracks. To be expected? Or a further problem? The builders are coming along for a proper look later this week. Personally, I could do with being given the all clear and getting that radiator reattached. It's getting cold in the hall.
