This blog has been set up to record the restoration of Ashgrove, which was devastated by fire in August 2007.
Please add comments of encouragement (or even suggestions for the colour of the walls, carpets, tiles, furniture....!!)

Vestibule

Well Eric did deliver the vestibule door frame and the skylight, and both have now been fitted.

The front door has been painted, and the house is now looking good from the front. Quite a contrast to the dark, sad looking boarded up house of a few months ago.

Eric should be delivering the new bay any day. Andy has already completed the base ready for it to stand on. As soon as it arives, Andy will get to work on the bay roof and get the lounge watertight as soon as possible so that he can then replace the floorboards.

Upstairs is progressing well, but there is still a lot of work to do downstairs. We are getting the first hints that the schedule is looking tight, and I wouldn't be surprised to see completion slip a couple of weeks to the middle of September. Let's hope its not longer.

Mike
