It has been a few days since I have put an update on our blog. Not through laziness but lack of time. We have had a stunning time since Christmas and probably about 3-4 weeks from moving in the main house (although it is difficult to believe it looking at the mess).

I have now completed half of the kitchen plastering and I hope the other half is done tomorrow.The windows are being put in as I type by Thierry (my Kity machine still awaits the Kity service department after 5 months of a bearing going so I could not do it myself in the end).

The bath and hand wash basin are plumbed in. The shower cubicle will be finished today (not plastering or tiling).

The first phase of plumbing heating is nearly complete too and yesterday I excavated a hole into the rock below ground for the 3000 litre oil tank.

The ceilings of the kitchen (part plastered) and the snug are done and ready for plastering and next week I hope that we can put the screed down in the kitchen and plaster the snug.
