It’s been a week since the plasterers, or anyone else, have been on site so there has been no further progress in that time. Didier, the builder’s clerk of works, arrived this morning to do some measuring up and we discussed what the plans are from here. Apart from saying that the plasterers would be back to finish off this week and that depending on the weather, the Cr\u00e9pi (special coloured wall plaster) would probably be applied to the walls next week, he was a bit vague and I suspect that timing is under the control of the office, not him.<\/p>\n

So knowing what’s still left to be done I’ve rejigged the work program that I produced a few months ago and knocked off all of the items on it that have since been completed. Shown below is what’s left.<\/p>\n

By coincidence (or is it?) the completion date for the house turns out to be w\/e 21st April which just happens to be almost the exact date quoted to me by the builder several weeks ago. I rejected it at the time as I was still trying to enforce the contractual 12 month termination date of 8th March but since then, of course, there have been problems with faults that had to be rectified and consequent delays.<\/p>\n

We’ve been battered by high winds for the last few days – I could hardly get to sleep last night in the caravan and every time I managed to doze off I was woken up again. I’ve feared for the survival of my second ‘tonnelle’, having lost one a week or so ago to high winds, but so far it’s remained standing and once the wind dies down later today we’re expecting a little more of the same going into the week-end after which things should calm down a bit.<\/p>\n

So with a bit of luck the external work that I’ve indicated should be able to go ahead next week without too much disruption. I’ve also allocated a full week to each task and it’s likely that some time will be made up as not every task will require that long, thus allowing others to be started sooner than shown in the program. Who knows, the end of the second week of April might be on \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
