This weeks work

Ok things are really kicking ahead at the moment, rang my plumber yesterday asked him to pay a visit see what he thinks and when he wants to start.
Im trying to get an electrican on board too and again there seems to be very few locals in the trade, i have one local pricing it, and a guy from home who works with the lads all the time, so we will see how that all goes!
Spoke to plasterers also the weekend one lad that i worked with during summers at school and college and he will come down from home, we are also thinking of bringing on a second plasterer that works with the lads, both are excellent platerers and i will probably pay them a day rate with my father and harry on site tending them they should finish it in about four weeks.
I must scud the house next weekend a messy job will take the two days to complete the outside of it!
The three lads are on site this week they are forming the chimney cap today to pour that, completing blockwork and internal studs and laying window cills so i can get these measured and on order.
Im hoping to get them started at the garage blockwork towards the end of the week, and once i have the house scudded hopefully the three lads will fall back on scratch coating the house we will pay the plasters to do the finish work then, so will save a bit of money there!

HI Jollyman,
If you don't mind, could you supply me with contact details for your scaffolder? I am also building in the SE area and will need scaffolding soon.
Much appreciated
