Here we are one month on from the last update and inside the Studio there is very little difference, once a wall is painted white, another 4 coats of white paint is not going to make it interesting viewing! My Brother has been away on another job for a couple of weeks and in the mean time I have painted the entire exterior of the building applying 3 coats to each surface, including the Garden wall to the right as you look at the Studio. There are many other small jobs that I have completed but nothing significant to see. With my Brother back on site, the attention is turned to getting the soak away in place, which required the Decking to be lifted and a 1.2m square whole being dug to a depth of 2m along with pipes connecting it to the down pipes from the guttering. Then the services connected to the house, (Sewer, Electric, Phone, etc etc), this involved digging the trench from the studio down the side of the house, this occurred on a particularly wet day which just added to the level of mess around the house not to mention inside the house when the Dog brought it in on her paws! It's looking much better now, as following inspection by Building Control, the trench has been filled in and the work started to lay the block paving.
