I’ve had a few friends and family lend a hand, which has really helped. Many thanks guys, you know who you are!<br/><br/>So back to the Cottage, structurally most of the hard work has now been done.</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0440.jpg"><img alt="Extension roof" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0440.jpg" height="240" width="320"/></a><br/><br/>The rear extension has been built, roof is on (but not tiled yet!), concrete floor is down but we are still waiting on doors and windows.</p> <p><a title="Bigger is better" target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0436.jpg"><img alt="Obi likes the new floor" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0436.jpg" height="240" width="320"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0449.jpg"><img alt="more floor" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0449.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a>   <a target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0448.jpg"><img alt="more floor" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0448.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a></p> <p>Most of the first fix re-wiring has been done, but we are waiting on E-On to move the power-supply. Until they have done this there is one internal (that used to be external) wall that cannot be knocked down, and the roof to the new extension cannot be complete.<br/><br/>This week, much like last I will be concentrating on the stud partitioning and battening out the exterior walls reading for insulating and plater-boarding.</p> <p><a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0431.jpg"><img alt="Upstairs studwork" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0431.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a>   <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0432.jpg"><img alt="More upstairs studwork" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0432.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a></p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0433.jpg"><img alt="More upstairs studwork" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0433.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a>   <a target="_blank" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/Image0434.jpg"><img alt="More upstairs studwork" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/683672/Pics/tombott/cottage/thumbs/Image0434.jpg" height="240" width="180"/></a></p>http://tumblr.tombott.com/post/2794669038http://tumblr.tombott.com/post/2794669038Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:13:19 +0000<iframe width="400" height="243" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wYj5o4kQsXs?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>They don’t make adverts like this anymore!</p> <p>I need to find me some Um Bongo now…..</p>http://tumblr.tombott.com/post/2697400357http://tumblr.tombott.com/post/2697400357Tue, 11 Jan 2011 12:45:13 +0000<iframe width="400" height="323" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nz2o4dLzdIk?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Showing progress to the extension -
