...arrived today. And with it came the windows so after the recent taste of cold weather we've been having (check out the last pic with the new snow on the mountains!), it'll be good to get the chalet sealed up and starting to get warm!
Okay... so where are we at?
- The balconies are finished, along with the finishing facades on the exterior (makes it look less like a monolith...)
- The roof is on and copper guttering is in place. The Lithuanians did an excellent job
- The interior walls are up and painted! No prizes for guessing who gets the blue room... :)
- The spiral staircase has been installed. Sorry, it's all covered in plastic at the moment to protect it but you can still get an idea of how it looks. We are delighted!
- The pine flooring upstairs has been laid
- The bathrooms are almost framed and closed up
- First fit on the electrics has been completed
And we're only 6 1/2 weeks into the build...
There is
so much going on at the moment that it's proving hard to keep track of everything. The plan is that the 25th will be the Lithuanians last day so there 5 days of frenetic activity still to go - another floor to be laid; all the doors and windows to go in and skirting and finishing wood all round. But we're not far off!
Boiler arrives on Thursday. If we can just get Total Gas to come and install the citerne (tank) like they've promised, we could even start cranking up the heat soon!
Enjoy the pics.
