The only things to be finished before we are able to move in are:
- Outside access to accommodate disabled visitors;
- Installation of log burner;
- 'Walk-through' and deep clean;
- Sign-off by the Local Authority;
- Address registration with Royal Mail and BT.
We have our fingers crossed for the end of next month. At this stage, before furniture goes in, we intend to walk round with a smart phone and video the result of all the work to date. There will still be odds and ends still to do but these are non-essential and we don't want to wait forever so they can be mini-projects once we are living there.
Other than that, the hold-ups are just long lead-times for the out-buildings we are ordering (e.g. the carport and a shed) plus the gates. These vary between 8 weeks and 14 weeks.
Meanwhile, around the portaloo, we have pallets of paving ready to go down next week.
