After our efforts to get the preparations completed for the flooring we now have a concrete ground floor in the majority of the eastern end of the house and this would have dried out much more rapidly had it not been for the appalling weather we have experienced – it has rained at some point in each 24 hours for the past month and we have had some amazing storms where the amount of water coming down has overwhelmed the new guttering and it’s simply poured down the side of the house.
Jean Claude has also constructed a first floor in new wood in the centre part of the house, and most of the wall needed to form the bedroom in that part of the house has been put up. So in the centre of the house there is a clearly defined hallway, a downstairs operational loo, a cupboard with the board for the mains electricity supply and a ‘developing’ bedroom with en suite bathroom. These though still need a good deal of work for them to be in any sense complete and useable by us.
Importantly the electrician is due to come back to the house in the next few days and wire up the majority of the eastern end giving us sockets and lighting. There will also be an electric hot water tank to service the western end of the house – there will have to be a separate tank for the eastern end as the house is so big. The problem with all of this is that the electrician and the builder do not exactly get on with each other and I am something of a ‘piggy-in-the-middle’ trying to ensure that they do actually collaborate and produce what we want.
