The scaffolders arrived yesterday, and removed the scaffolding from the front of the house.
This was the second attempt. They came on Tuesday, but when they took up the planks of the top level walkway, they found that some of the roofing slates underneath had been broken during the building work. So the builders came back and replaced the slates, and then the scaffolders came back again and - finally! - removed the scaffolding.
I'm really quite surprised how smart the house looks, with its new windows and panelling.
