The rewire is finished, the new plumbing system is almost complete and the plasterers finish on Wednesday. We've achieved a huge amount since we took possession of Abbotsdene on the 8 January and we managed to have a baby as well.
Friends and family have been a great help so far and will continue to be so. Guy, Sam, Elma and Neil have all helped out in various ways and made the job so much easier. Pete, Kate, Heath and the kids have been down twice now and even Ben and Libby helped out with wallpaper stripping and babysitting duties.
Jonathan (the sparky) and his team took just over a week to completely rewire the house and did a great job. No doubt we have made some bad decisions about the location of plug sockets and the like but it was so difficult to anticipate where we will need things to go. Jonathan is a lovely bloke and we made a good choice with him. He's recently renovated his own house and we've ended up using his plumber and plasterer as well, both of whom have been just as reliable and professional. I'm just waiting for something to go wrong.
