Well our brickwork is all done now, roof is on, walls have been plastered and ceiling and cornices are all done, windows and doors are on and locked up, kitchen cupboards and bathroom cupboards have been delivered and partially installed, and all our tiles have been delivered! Last time I was there our bath/toilets/etc were being delivered too. Things are coming along!! It seems we have a major problem with our bricks though, or the mortar, not sure which is causing it. Our cream mortar is now covered in horrible rusty-coloured stains and it's leaching into the bricks. Anyone else has this???
