Renovations Diary: 15th November, 2019
The pre-painted soffits and fascias started to be mounted on the roof. It has taken a lot of work to get to this point. This will allow the addition of the new aluminium guttering in the coming weeks.
Work in the kitchen started. The back wall has already been prepped with boron, and now covered with polythene and insulation material. The ceiling beams were re-inforced and a new stud partition added.
And tons of debris was removed from the dump behind the doors. This has allowed better storage of equipment and materials, as well as better facitlities for the recycling bins.
