Pre wire and plaster

We visited the house on Friday 25 January and walked through with the electrician Merv.    The flush boxes are all in place and some of the cable to the hotpoints had been pulled in.   The electrical pre-wire will be completed by Wednesday.

The plastering base coats have been applied - there are a few rough spots and some cracking.  Hopefully all that will be fixed and the top coats of plaster will be perfect.

Our next visit is this coming weekend.

Electrician is ready to start

We visited HN on 19th January and had an onsite discussion with Merv (electrician). Merv had placed a few flush boxes and the discussion was worthwhile as otherwise some would have been put in the wrong place. Overall though the electrical planning is coming along well.

 Merv will start work this coming week and we shall return next Friday to review what has been done.

The insulation is likely to be installed the following week, followed by wall linings. On site are packs of STO material for the plaster system; the windows have been covered in plastic and the plastering may also start next week. The window surrounds have the STO net material fixed.

Most of the plumbing has been installed. The gas pipe for the hob is in the wrong place and the gas line for the garage has not been installed. Builder advised. All good.








The concrete has to be cut to feed the power and telecom cables to the other side.
