Hi Ho, Hi Ho ....

[Baldric]

.... It's off to work they go, had a builders lorry turn up just after 15:00 with the Rooflights and all the materials they need to build the Dormer starting tomorrow, all offloaded in to the garage now, they reckon they'll be done by the end of the week,
Sounds promising, looking forward to seeing finished job.

When I was a teen we had a dog who just had to help workmen visiting the house. My mum would tell them to ignore him.

Two chaps came to do some work in a cellar area. They were confident that a big hound wouldn't be able to get down the ladder. He did and the three of them got stuck. Mum heard the cries for help and coaxed the hound up the stairs of the ladder.

He was a good natured dog - Bullmastiff daddy and GSD mum.

Have fun getting your roof done.

Well please don't go checking on their progress via ladder!

Wish you better luck than I had with my former. Mine took 3 months and ended with hubby threatening to kill the builder!!!!!

enf of the week? Excellent if they can do it on schedule. Some workmen I've had have done exactly that. Others have only got the year right.

[Baldric]

They're the same guys we used when we gutted the place before moving in, and they look after our Rentals, if they don't finish by Friday there's always next week, there's no rush.
(Don't tell 'em I said that ;o)

We are overdue to have our roof fixed. I am on the top floor and I have a leak or two. It has taken three years to get to this stage - that the work is to be done in the near future.

It is only a small block of flats - four flats and two businesses on the ground floor. It should have been simple but it has proven otherwise.

Good luck, stay off the rungs and steps.....sure it will look good.

They turned up on time, apart from one short break they've been working away steadily, doing the dormer first as the sun's shining so we've got one big hole in the roof atm.

Building work often sounds promising before it starts :)

Garaman, see post @ 19:58 Sun.

Had another productive morning, they're doing ok so far.
Mrs B left for Norwich about 10:30, says to give her a call when the Seven (3) Dwarfs have finished tap tap tapping all day.
I seriously hope the Job doesn't overrun, well not by too much anyway or she could be missing for a while;o)

[Baldric]

So far, so good, all the roof lights are done, the dormer is well underway, got the final window size yesterday, local window company say they can fit it Saturday morning, so fingers crossed.

Sounds like it's going well Balders. I could always do a final inspection for you :-)

[Baldric]

Come on down! ;o)

[MargoTester]

I'll bring some nice wine and nibbles. If you want someone to do the official opening my former name was Queen, is that grand enough for you?

[Baldric]

You have the ribbon Cutting Duties Margo,
tugs forelock!
