Competition

Our extension is competing to be first to be finished with our adjoining neighbour over the back. There's is two storeys so I think we should win.



Their neighbours have already finished their 2 storey extension



Further down there's a loft extension coming to an end


And theres at least another two extensions going on in that street out of view. No credit crunch there.

The Old House

One of the reasons for the extension is the small kitchen in our house. But as you can see from these pictures, that wasnt the main problem when we moved in 3 years ago...

Rain

Today it rained for the first time since the start of the extension when the foundations were being dug, but lots of bricks went up nevertheless. I didnt want to get wet so took these pictures from inside.

This one from the bedroom



And this one from the back room



And this one from the kitchen
