Photo of the render colour differance from the back of the house were its more aparant. The 3rd render coat needs to go on to ‘level out’ the colours, however my SS needs aproval from his Manager before he can hand out the purchase order on this trade as it will involve re-scafolding the whole house and re rendering the whole place.

The garge took 20 bags of leverling compound to get it correct, the contractor was telling my SS and I that it normaly takes 8 bags. But it looks great now! very happy and the royal blue carpet that will be installed will be on a level base.

At this stage we are hoping to move in in the 1st week of Februry… but we realy dont know. We are not homeless, but have not given our 4 weeks notice on the rental property yet, too much is just up in the air.
Love your blog! Have been a silent follower for months…Imdid comment on a few posts earlier, but the WordPress registration system below didn’t seem to work. I feel your pain….we ended our building saga with Porter Davis about 4 months back and have finally settled into our Bristol home. Unfortunately for us, from this stage, it took almost 4 months for handover, but I sincerely hope you will be settled in your new abode soon.
Thanks a lot for your contribution to the building community. There is a wealth of information here. We do have some similar ideas, and it was like déjà vu reading through your past posts.
Good luck on the rest of the journey and hope to see more pics and videos once you move in.

Hi B, No we didnt, the concereate slab needed to be topped so the water ran away from the house and not towards it. Our Site Super orgernised it (with some prompting)

We did our WIR through IKEA and got a credit back for the wardrobe fit-out that we didn’t use. IKEA had a on line toll the cost up what you need
