November Update
The extension is now really beginning to take shape as we have seen the structure of the new rooms erected at the beginning of this month. We can now see more clearly the layout and shape of the new lounge and corridor in the photos below.
October Monthly Update
Below are photos of the ongoing progress which has been made on the extension of the house this month.
The start of October has seen the previous monoblocking removed and the trenches for the foundations being lined and dug.
The builders then laid the pipework which has been fitted into place and cemented over.
Finally the third photo shows they have now began erecting the structure of the extension.
