Whilst I promise not to bore you with step by step pictures of the building work, I thought this photo might amuse. Having left the builders all alone for the day, leaving them to get on with it, we couldn't wait for them to go home so that we could hurry downstairs to see what they'd been up to. I guess that 4.30pm came in mid-rip of a skirting board!

They are getting on nicely and there is visible progress, thank goodness.
