12 Courses Completed

I like brick-layers. Brick-layers make startling progress!

Here's the view of the extension, 12 courses high already:

And from a different angle, we can see the new windows at the back of the house in place either side of the chimney breast:

Looking inside the "kitchen" window, we can now see the larder at the far end of the room:

And, of course, the work continues out front with the new "porch" taking shape nicely.

It's all very exciting but we mustn't forget how early we are in this process. There is still a lot of work to do and a lot of things still to consider, such as:

• Underfloor heating (which will probably be electric)
• The velux-style windows in the roof of that porch (as I can't remember if that feature made it into the final plan)
• Stairs... we definitely need to go and get an idea of stairs ASAP
