Crushed rock and not much else...

We haven't updated the blog in a few weeks, but that is only because work on site seems to have ground to a halt. The painter is ready to go, but we have been waiting for the plasterers to be available so that they can finish the fix in bedrooms two and three. Apparently the plasterers were on site today, so the painters have now been booked for next week. 

PK tells us that we will be able to get a better idea of the handover date once the painting has finished and the tiling starts. Not sure how long it normally takes for the painters to finish though - perhaps one of my fellow house-builders could enlighten us?

In the meantime, we have had lots of crushed rock dropped on site so that it is not so muddy for the painters, and in preparation for our retaining walls. We were originally thinking of having a lighter coloured concrete for the driveway, but the crushed rock has given me an idea of how it would look in a darker concrete or asphalt and I must say... I don't mind it.

  1. Looking back on my blog it was about 6 weeks from when paint started so not long to go now!

  2. Our painters worked at it for about 4 weeks. We were another week or so off handover so about 6 weeks sounds right.
