Day 58 - First larch cladding on

Today marked the day that the first of the Scottish Larch cladding was fitted to the house. The garage East & West facings were first to get the treatment, and it looks fantastic. Doug and the lads have made a great job of it, and the final finishing touches to the soffits & facings really sets the building off. A proper garage with a proper roof.
Further work was also done at the new front entrance. The roof wood work was completed & the waterproof membrane applied over the whole lot (thankfully, as the weather has been so changeable of late).
Andrew our Architect was also round this afternoon to discuss the exterior colour schemes with Wendy, so now the decisions have been made on the external finishes. The painter will be round tomorrow to discuss further, and we should see the first of the paintwork tackled by the end of the week.
Things really are starting to move fast again, and the electricians are due his week, with the heating engineer & plumber next week (as well as the return of the slaters !).
