Happy at the end of the day! Dirty, but glad it's over and done!

Glen and our lovely neighbour Brian ( i hope that's spelled right) fixing in the wiring for the TV in the bedroom. Brian also helped glen do all the cabling for the data points in the house.

The cables start point in the garage going. There's 17 data points in the house!

3/4 of the way done and i begged Glen to stop for the evening!

This is where we'd stopped on Saturday.
We were both knackered and sore, but it looked good. We worked on Saturday 22nd of May from 10-4ish.... then cam back on Sunday with fresh energy and sore muscles and did the last little bit in just over 2 hours.

Completed. Done and i never ever ever want to see turf again! In the picture I'm just tidying up the edges and trimming the turf up a bit to make it neater for the council inspection.

ALL DONE!
