Got back from Wales and decided to have a quick check on the house. The work on the chimney has been completed as expected, and looks good.

But for some reason the builders decided to start on the electrical first fix, in the attic - which I wasn't aware would be happening. Some of the cable routes chosen compromise the fitting of the roof insulation. I was a bit cross about this so I called the main guy and told him so; no doubt we will have a conversation about this tomorrow.

The road closure has been enlarged now - making it even harder for us to get deliveries etc:

And, as can be seen, the chimney has now been scaffolded.

We also can't get any skips to the house, which means building waste is now having to be stored in the front and back gardens, and in the front downstairs room.
