More solid progress

Still working on the walls and making slow but steady progress. I’ve been left with a dilemma which I’ll go into at the end of the post. The first shots show the situation as at lunchtime today.

The next shot shows the thickness of the insulation that’s being put into the walls and now I see why the door and window frames all protruded so much into the house’s interior and when they marked out the floor so much interior space was being given up.

The next batch of shots show that at the end of the day all of the insulation had been put into place together with most of the dry lining board. The site had also had a good clean and tidy-up.

And now we come to my dilemma. I noticed this evening after the workmen had left that they’d made a small error. Two cables emerge where the heads of the beds will be in bedrooms 1 and 2, one of which is a plug point and the other a switch for the main room lights.

The plug point needs to be low-level but the light switch needs to be higher so it can be operated while you’re in bed. You can see what I mean in the following image.

Here’s my dilemma. If I don’t tell the workmen they could make the same mistake in bedroom 2 and then both bedrooms will need to be rectified. If they have by then applied any finish to the walls, this could be even more difficult, and possibly unsightly even, than if the problem is brought to their attention now.

So far so good. But what’s my dilemma? If I tell them they’ll know that I’ve been into the house after they’d left and that to do so I must have a key, which I’m not really supposed to have. But I do have one as I had a copy made over the week-end when I moved my doors into the house. Now d’you see the problem? 🙂
