Extremely wet day today, but due to canopy over the house, the roofer was still able to work.

Royston Collier has been the roofer for phase 2

Day 137 – Sunday 22nd January 2017 – back to phase 1 – near completion of the new family bathroom

Fitments all in place, door needs painting or varnishing and also handle required.

Interesting to compare it with how it used to look in September 2016. See the transformation below.
