The day started with a hasty meeting about the bathroom. Having spent most of the night considering our options we delivered our verdict to the plumbers, who straight away got down to moving the pipes they had already laid for the basin and shower. They were also able to complete the macerator discharge pipe now, which luckily didn't have to change (because they hadn't done that end of it yet). Then they came inside and connected up all the pipes in the airing cupboard.
Meanwhile, Marcus and Simon carried on with the remainder of the structural work. They completed the dwarf wall on top of the steel beam which will become the wall of the stairwell. They removed the purlin from above the stairs, where it will be in the way, and trimmed the joists for the last Velux window. They also installed a big chunk of timber to support the end of the front ridge beam.
By 15:30 they were taking bags of rubbish to the skip, so we got a quick progress update. The structure is now all complete, so the building inspector will be coming to inspect it tomorrow.
The next phase is electrical first fix before the chicken-wire goes down with insulation on top. The evening was spent finalising where the sockets and lights are going to go.
