Another five days of work on the site, that makes five since the resumption. Work continued of the roof(s) and, very key, the windows and front door were delivered and installed. This was completed by Thursday evening and so we set off for Westport on Friday morning - having checked that the workers were on the site that morning.
We won't be back in Ballyferrier until next Monday so we only can hope that work continues without us being there to chivvy them along. According to our understanding of the schedule, this week should see the first fix for the plumbing and more work on the roof.
Cheers
Fingers crossed

| Frontage of the original house |
 |
| New door in the wall of the extension, creating a new location for the "front door" |
 |
| Living room windows looking over Smerwick Harbour and Mount Brandon |
 |
| The three "new" windows in the upstairs of the original structure. The old house had three windows of (more or less) this size but the were positioned about 60cm lower so you had to stoop to look out if standing. Moving the apertures through the roofline was the main cause of contention with the builder that caused close to a three-month delay. |
