The plumbers & electricians have been working hard on the first fix while I've been away - it's been a challenge apparently to drill through the old oak joists, but it's largely all done now and so they can finish the floors and start the lathe & plaster.
The lathes and plaster arrives - this will be used to finish the ceilings and walls of the first and second floors of the original cottage. These are the original materials that would have been used and we're obliged to replicate that. Luckily, the 2nd floor of the cottage & the barn addition which will form the kitchen and master suite don't need this and instead can have modern walls (a quarter of the price) which is welcome news. The lathe & plaster also takes a long time to dry and so we're hoping the weather stays fine, warm & dry over the next few weeks
