The builders have not able to do any work at all because they were waiting for materials. We waited most of Friday and then I called their boss to find out what was happening. It seems that their truck had an accident on its way to deliver the Nutec boards (for the outside walls). Some of their guys even landed up in hospital. I have to admit that the cynic in me (who has been burnt by many a builders excuses) thought that that sounded convenient. However on Tuesday when the foreman arrived to deliver some more material I saw his neck brace and bandages on his head. Apparently the trucks wheel broke off while they were driving to site. Shame on me for throwing every builder in with the bad ones.
So nothing at all has happened the last three days. I have to say that I have enjoyed the silence and the extra long sleeps that Curious George has had. Also my husband arrived home on Sunday evening, from his two weeks overseas, as sick as a dog. He enjoyed the silence as well.
He did however climb up into the roof to see what progress was being made (that's manly curiosity for you) and took some photos.

That's men for you. Come rain or snow (or ill health) you can't keep a man from a building site! Enjoy the peace and quiet as long as you can. Do you need anyone to keep an eye on the builders while CG is in hospital? You are going to have a great view from the windows when it's finished. Is the balcony over looking the front or back garden? Love Jill
