Our floor slab
Julian celebrated his 50th birthday in Sitges. Thank you Penny and Jonny for organising a fantastic long weekend!
The beam and block floor was completed in late October and we arranged for a family visit while mum and dad were down for half term.

We spent a week down in Devon and the oak frame arrived on site on 27 October. In just a couple of days almost half of the ground floor frame has been erected.

| Unfortunately this post has missed the concrete pad, So far the rest are spot on. |
We expect the frame to be completed in around a week and a half and the SIPs should be arriving in mid November.
We've just ordered the roof lantern from Vitral, which will be above the main vaulted living area.
We need to make the final decision on the roof tiles as this is another part of the build that's over the budget.
