Cellar walls complete - winter break started

Cellar walls complete


During last week the remaining work on the walls in the cellar was completed.  The walls of the staircase and the other supporting columns still have their shuttering on, but the concrete has been poured.

We had a chance to have a close look at the foundation plate and the cellar walls now that the builders have started their three week holiday.  The concrete looks rather thick, but the picture below doesn't really show any scale.

 The texture of the waterproof concrete is very smooth.  In fact we may be able to simply paint some of the walls in the cellar and save plastering them.  Maybe we could just varnish/polish them and enjoy looking at that lovely concrete.

If you have read this far, I wish you a very happy Christmas and an exciting New Year.  The building works are paused now until 14 January, when work should start by removing the shuttering, and getting going with the cellar roof.
