We went to the house last week, early on Sunday morning in order to meet our friend who also wanted to look around. The outside was still grey mortar, although this had lightened as it dried and looked a lot less Soviet (nice even?) this week. The orange cladding is now all finished and looks great. No work on the outside wood deck yet and the scaffolding is still in place.
Inside there weren't any big noticeable changes unfortunately but upon closer inspection it was evident that work is continuing at a steady pace. The bundles of electrical wiring were noticeably bigger and more complex, the walls were boarded over in more areas and the area above the loft has been partially covered up. The interior housing for part of the big sliding doors in the living room was also under construction. Small changes everywhere.
Small changes don't really lend themselves to exciting photos though so I didn't take many since you will have basically seen it all before. Below I have attached a couple but that's about all there is to say this week!
Our next meeting on Saturday will also involve talking to the landscaper about what we are going to do outside. Hopefully the quote is not too expensive, especially given we are trying to keep things as simple as possible. I do know another landscaper who has previously expressed an interest in helping us so we will be able to get additional quotes and compare when the time comes. More updates to follow soon.
