Ten days on

If this building project was a sailboat and we were on the ocean, one might fairly say that we are in the doldrums. Nothing else has happened inside the house and we still don't have a date from the ESB (the electricity supply organisation that provides grid services) for when the house will be connected. This is why, other than the slow drying out of the plaster, nothing has happened inside the house.

The main contractors' chaps are working away on the site on a wide range of tasks, including getting all the drains connected to the main sewer, tidying up the site, prepping for the paths and drive and the like.

So, as this snap shows. We have water to the house and drains to carry it and all the assorted waste away from the house. If only we could get some electricity to the house we could get going on the plumbing, the tiling, the kitchen and the like. It looks extremely unlikely that we will be in by Christmas.


Bah, humbug
