Article: Job Done

Post    Published: Monday, September 7th, 2009

A nice easy four day week his week after the last Bank Holiday of the year, and it was also our last week on the job in Peterborough.  On Tuesday we finished off putting on the last parts of the soffit and facia along the side elevation of the extension.  We also put the glass into the window frames that we had fixed in on the previous Friday.  Wednesday was about putting in the glass for the French doors so all the glazing was then fixed in, but we also put in an internal box lintel prior to us knocking down what was the external wall and making a new opening from the extension through to the existing dining area which we did the following day.

 

Thursday we put together a snagging list of the last final jobs that needed doing so we could have the job completed, things like putting in expanding foam and silicone around the window and door frames, pointing up the gable roof tiles and finishing off a few other minor jobs.  On Friday all we had to do was fix the down pipe to the wall and point up a few bricks and the work was complete.  While Stu did that I loaded up the van with our tools and left over materials so they could be dropped back off at Ramsey so we could return to work on the new build.  We swept up, removed all the rubbish and debris, and that was job done.  We had completed the work bang on our six week schedule, and the client was very happy with our rate of work and level of finish.  I hope to have his words up on the web site soon. 

 

Stu now has a week off, I have a week of catching up on paper work, a few people to visit and materials to organise for the following week on our return to the new build.
