Wednesday morning last week the scaffolding was erected & a sip delivered ready for the rendering on the front of the house to be removed & replaced. Here's a compilation of photos of what then happened. (not the best quality - sorry) The cats have been good, it was very noisy indoors & out when they were removing the old render (Wednesday afternoon), replacing the wood underneath & one of the wood support pillars (unexpectedly found to be wood, not brick under the render, & rotten!) on Thursday morning. We had a quiet Thursday afternoon as they applied the base coat of render and then they weren't here until Monday afternoon which was also relatively quiet as it was the application of the top coat of render. Tuesday morning was noisy again as they had to scrape the top coat to put the finish on it. The cats moved out - thank goodness the weather was good - Roman & Lexie used our summer house (an expensive cat house!!!! ), Osiris was in the next door's bushes, Penny moved rooms away from the noise but decided not to brave the others outside, although she went out early Tuesday morning & spent the whole day in the summer house, she bagged a chair (there are only 2) early!! Well its all finished now, the scaffolding & skip went Wednesday & the house looks good but the grass will need to recover from the wood pressure bases at the feet of the scaffold. the cats & light into the living room are back to normal.

Ha ha loved the lunch scene. Just as I took this picture the builders drove up (for the first time) - they were looking a bit puzzled as to why I was taking a photo of the inside the skip until Osiris jumped out! Brilliant Toni - nothing like a nosey cat. Your house is very nice too. Ours are definitely nosey. Penny was also on the windowsill watching Osiris. The cats deserve 5 stars for their behaviour. I like your house. Hmm - Lexie did try to hit Osiris but there was window glass in the way Well it's their house .... you just happen to live there too Toni. Ditto what the others said ..... you have a lovely house. LOL and ditto all the above The 4 cats say
