The week finishes on a positive note. The site meeting seems to have resolved all the outstanding issues and cleared away all potential barriers to progress. This required a bit of compromise all round and I am still anxious about the builder's acceptance of the architect inspired plan for channelling the rainwater off the pitch of the original structure that fronts to Slea Head Drive.

| This is the roof in question |
The roof has three dormer windows and so has two small roof areas on either side of the middle window. The builder wants to put gutter along each of them with a fall pipe running down to the ground for each of them. We (including the architect) are resisting this and the architect has specified an alternative that the builder considers new-fangled and unnecessary. I interpret this to mean it involves more work for him. The section of the roof in the photo is the only part of the roof(s) not fully tiled.
One thing is sure, the builder is keen to get rid of the scaffolding, as are we.
Next week could see the electricity reconnected and we can then move to get the heating system installed and commissioned. With the heat on we can hope for the floor screed and plaster to dry out that bit quicker. And with just ten weeks to go to the end of November any help in this direction would be handy. As observed yesterday, I reckon it has to be a least a week later than that, but we can live with that.
