With the builders due to arrive in a couple of weeks we thought it was time to double check the plans, paying particular attention to waste and water supplies. The first job of the builders is to break up the existing floor and lay a new concrete floor with the necessary waste pipes buried in the floor ready to take all the foul water out to the new septic tank. The positions of the pipes protuding from the floor is critical as that is where the downstairs toilets, kitchens and shower will be sited. We have moved a few things around, partly for asethetic and practical reasons, so that necessitated lots of Tipex, redrawing, photocopying, moving cut-out beds and kitchens around etc. We also reorganised some of the upstairs rooms to make the path for the waste pipes easier. Moving one small thing has a knock-on to lots of other things. I wished we had an electronic copy of the original architect's drawings as it took an awfully long time jiggling about.
