Where's the bathroom gone

Iain popped in for a few hours on Tuesday and the bathroom disappeared...

O there's the bath

Colin and Jamie

These two guys repaired the roughcast and redid the cement finish below floor level. 

It looks a lot neater.


When the boys came with their invoice Colin told me Jamie was brought up in this house - so I had to invite them in to look round.

Jamie in his old room!
I'll let them come back when its finished.

Dormers

After the repairs were made by Steve.... Paul and Mick refelted the dormers. I climbed the ladder to inspect the last one but I didn't take my camera. I needed both hands to hold on - its a long time since I was able to scamper up and down scaffolding!

Doesn't that look better!

Roofline

Steve came with his chum Tom and expected to fit shiny new white plastic roofline goods but.... what a lot of rot they found when they started stripping the old facias. Scaffolding was borrowed from Mick and timber fetched from Jewsons and repairs started. A 2-3 day job took about 6 days in all including nearly being blown off the scaffold by the high winds.

3 wasp nests were found in the dormers
