Week 11: Parapets go up (Mon)

After a lengthy discussion and payment over the weekend, the builder finally showed up on Monday and made good progress on the parapets. I can't understand why it is taking him so long to do the brickwork. Unfortunately he built the parapet so high, that it is now blocking the signal to our neighbour's satellite dish, so they are without TV. So I have now had to call a sky engineer to come out and move their dish up.

We also had an aluminium door company come round at the weekend to measure up for our bifold doors and kitchen window. Joe is unsure as to whether the builder has accurately measured the floor height so we won't book anything until we have been out there with the laser and measured it properly for ourselves. The builder got the window measurement wrong, so I hope he hasn't also miscalculated the floor.

We also ordered out three Velux (Rooflight) windows.

Here are a few snaps of the parapets:

You can get a better idea of them from the upstairs window:
