As always, the film crew spent most of the day taking the piss out of each other and generally having a good time.  Jon and Andy seem to bounce off each other, winding each other up.  Andy is hyperactive anyway, but when paired with Jon, he is like a little kid.  It always makes for a very fun and entertaining day.

Building Update

Well despite the film crew being here causing havoc, quite alot of work was done yesterday.  The new utility room and downstairs toilet has been plastered from top to bottom, and the rain water tank has been successfully installed in the garden (after the 8ft hole was dug yesterday).  The electrician has also been in installing some extra lights and sockets in the extension.  On top of that, we’ve also had visits from the architect  – Jan Milsom (Milsom Architects) and the manager of the building company Bill Owen (Owen Construction).

Today the hallway linking the new bedrooms to the existing house was plasterboarded, the ensuite was partially plastered, the pipework connecting the rainwater tank to the house was put in place and the wall between the house and the new hall way was partially demolished.

The media section of the website has some new photos showing the progress of the extension.

Thats all for now.

I suppose at least the graphics is done.  I have a nice little program that inverts images, or brightens/darkens them, or blurs them, or embosses them.  I still have to do custom filter stuff for the marking session on friday, but im very nearly there (luckily).

Mum and Dad are down tomorrow to go look at the humongous bathroom showroom just down the road.  The house extension is now at the stage where we need to start getting stuff to go inside.  The windows went in on Monday, as well as the first coat of render on the outside.  The floors should be going in by the end of the week as well as the cavity wall insulation for the old building.  Next week should then be the creation of the internal walls, followed by electrics, plumming and networking (my domain)

Anyway, enough of procrastination for now,need to work.  May do another post later depending on how quickly i put the finishing touches on the graphics.

Oh, before i go… what do you think of the new emoticons? let me know by leaving a comment.
