Bedlam in Waterford

After getting quite used to just two guys coming and going from the extension as they pleased and quiely cracking on.  The start to his week has been a good deal more frenetic at one stage there were 6 vans parked outside the house.


Without any heating or hot water, I'm also sampling life "Victorian Style" on a fairly mild but grey and damp November day I'm struggling to stay warm - especially as there are 6 people constantly coming and going via the front door. Brrrrr!



Roof tiling has commenced with two roofers on the roof








We have a plumber relocating hot water tanks and plumbing the new services in (hence no heating or hot water). We have an electrician cabling. We have 2 builders and their supervisor knocking down walls and connecting the old house to the new house.  One thing that is really amazing is that the floor in the existing bathroom meets the new floor perfectly - that's quite a feat!

Bathroom before - we never did paint the side of the cupboard

Cupboard and water tank removed


Floors all covered with protective plastic


First contact with the new space

Getting bigger

Breakthrough!




End of day 1 knocking though

View back into the house from the new bedroom, ensuite to the left

170 year old laths

You can see the horse hair in the plaster


Everything is moving along at quite a pace.
