M&S and Sam (labourer) arrive bright and early (07:40) to finish what they started on Day 2 before the steel beams arrive. However, the steel beam man arrived early too (07:45)! We then had fun trying to trace the owner of a car that was in the way of the very long lorry/crane turning the corner and getting down to our house. Eventually lorry/crane and building materials were parked outside. Andy (the crane driver) got himself sorted and the first beam was being lifted up towards the side of our house. David and I took loads of photos and the boys watched too. I took them in to school late as this was a bit of a special occasion! After the first beam, the second and third beams went in smoothly and then all the materials were unloaded (ie. timber, insulation, velux windows). The timber was also lifted up and right over the house to the scaffolding at the back. After bidding farewell and merry christmas to Andy, M&S&S had a break and then proceeded to carry on with such things as bricking up the holes and other stuff (I can see things have happened with bits of wood).
So far a very pleasant experience. They are very easy to have a chat with, will down tools to discuss the project whenever I appear with the coffee and questions, and again, cleared up beautifully at the end of the day (including sweeping the patio).
