Therefore, the walling stones and the area around the emerging wall is soaked and to call it muddy is to understate it. I quite expected not to see dry-stone-waller Simon Morphet, so hostile are the working conditions. To my astonishment he arrived and got stuck back in to his work.
With the fullest admiration of his skill and determination I asked him if I might take a photograph for the Blog:

That is what I call dedication.
Besides the outside work proceeding apace, today saw the start of the first-fix plumbing for the bathroom and kitchen. As with Steve Dinsdale the electrician our plumber John Murfin and his assistant Matt have been able to break off from a hectic schedule of other work purely by chance when another job had become delayed between first and second fix.
John Murfin's father was the former owner of the water tower, from whom we bought it. The water tower had therefore featured large in John's childhood adventures and memories so he is happy to be involved of course.
Not only that, we took delivery today of the heat-recovery-ventilation equipment for the extension. Sales Director of Air Distribution Management Ltd (ADM), who supplied the main tower's HRV system, happened to have an appointment in Morecambe today from their HQs at Bingley and Settle is just about en route . . . Our original HRV system still features on ADM's website:

Perhaps our extension's separate but near identical system might also feature one day?
