This week we are working in Longthorpe, Peterborough, knocking through a kitchen wall to create an open plan kitchen/diner, blocking up an existing door way and making good with a plaster skim finish, and removing the existing kitchen ceiling and stud work to replace with new plasterboard and a plaster skim finish.

Next week Stu and I move onto to start a two storey extension in Ramsey, while Dave the plasterer goes into the Longthorpe job to skim the kitchen and dining room ceilings, with Jo the floor tiler moving in on the Tuesday to lay stone tiles across the kitchen, dining room and utility floors.

I’m making my final phone calls this week and finalising my plans to make sure everything is in place and we are ready to go for the Ramsey job. Liaising with David at the builder’s merchants to finalise material quantities and deliveries, and hoping to get in touch with Wayne the brickie who should have found somewhere to park his boat in Spain, and is flying in to assist us on the Ramsey job.
