A birthday beer

... In the head of steam in huddersfield. Having a pint of titanic iceberg, aptly named bearing in mind spaceflower's great great grandfather died on the titanic. I wonder whether the passengers ever thought a beer would be named after the unfortunate predicament.

Day off

No builders today as its Sunday. Really taking shape down there. Floor is next on the agenda. I bought the builder a huge roll of tape to join the floor to the wall membrane, that should make it nice and water tight. Builder might be done Tuesday Wednesday, we'll then just need to get a plasterer in. Electrician lined up, window to order then it shouldn't be far off.

What a difference a day makes

Builders really cracked on today. We have drain in the floor, gravel in place and lots of plugs in the membrane. they've knocked off early as the drill bit has a flat end... That's always going to cause a problem!

Ah, that's better...

A nice clean stone vault. I won't show you the floor, it looks like its covered in snow drifts.

Project Chop Begins...

Here we go... Start of cellar conversion project, sandblasting the stone vault ceiling. Nasty mucky job, dread to think what the guys lungs are like.

Big thanks to huddersfield sandblasting company www.vapourblast.co.uk for fitting us in so quickly. Much more reliable than the scouse Collonel gadaffi who let us down!
