Cederal cladding well underway. Waiting for winfow cills befor cladding all the way up

Used to be an arch way!

New drainage arragement. Hope this satisfied building control!

Well, the man from building control didn't like my dtainage arrangement!
The problem is the down portion goes into tbe old drain with a 90 degree T.
He is worried about solids going the wrong way in the pipe so need to replace the 90 t with a 45, so big hole is now dug!

Been ages since update! That doesnt mean nothing has been happening!

Triangular window which was supplied wrong is now fitted.

Lead flashing to roof lights now in place with fleese natting betewwm lead and glass to mitigate risk of thefmal shock

Insulation to inside complete

Drains for utility room and shower room installed.

Slightly unorthodox testing, couldnt seal both ends as no easy access to existing vent stack , so stopped up in manhole before  the road and filled system with water. After 1 hour the water had not dropped even a millimetre so recon all seals are water tight!
