Today saw the last of the wallpaper being removed in the living room and hallway and the sunroom ceiling being removed. Hopefully, this will be the end of the demolition phase. We’re also now at the point where we shouldn’t find any more big new issues that will need sorting out. We had a visit from the roofer today, and he’s confirmed that there is some repair / remedial work required on the roof, where the pitched roof joins the flat roof. The flat roof itself isn’t too bad, which is a relief, but does require a couple of repairs – one to a repair that has obviously leaked at some point, and one to where the clowns from the virginmedia installation team have nailed cable clips through the felt!!

We encountered quite a lot of honeysuckle in the sunroom roof (which is something that we’ll need to keep an eye on in the future) as well as a few solitary wasp nests, which are really quite beautiful. After the roof work, they may not be able to get in so easily though…

On the positive side, the first ceiling board went up this afternoon, and the speaker wiring has been installed!
