Just as we'd given up hope of seeing Tomas before Christmas, he turned up. It was too damp and blustery for fitting panels on the roof, so instead he started on the second fix of the electrics: checking which wires do what, and getting sockets and switches ready. It has been about three years since the first fix, and some of the internal walls weren't even built at that point, and as we were building we 'sort of guessed' which wires were what. Not very well, in some instances.
However, this is a very exciting development, and requires us to choose light fittings for the whole house - which is a job in itself.

Work on the ceiling continues at its slow pace
Tomas and an assistant turn up just before Christmas ...
... and pull everything apart, just when I was thinking of tidying up for the festive season!
Still, lots of stray wires were identified, and relocated, where
necessary. Some of the kitchen wall had to be de-plastered, as the wire
for under-cabinet lighting had gone into a socket, and elsewhere a wire I had
thought was a light switch turned out to be another socket - now in a
slightly strange place for a socket, but never mind!
