Whenever we can, we get on with the wall. When the weather is bad, we lath and plaster one of the internal walls. Constantine found us an electrician, who came for a look round, and now we're waiting for an estimate of cost for the first fix. This will be expensive, and could hold us up for some time, while we save up. Not having the first fix in place means that there are large areas of wall that can't be lath and plastered, because we will have to build in socket and switch back boxes as we go along.
So when it rains we work out which internal walls can be done and get on with them. When it's dry, we do the outside stem wall. This corner is the start of the straw-bale foundation wall, so it was pretty exciting to start on this - and the bucket-loads of little filler stones that Mum had left for me made for quick progress.
