Our lovely light grey paviors are now in place on our driveway hardstanding and the gates have been delivered to be installed next week. Our recycling and rubbish bins have been supplied by the local council and broadband is in.
Packing has begun (about 50 boxes so far) and the removal company has been booked for next month.
It seems like this is happening, at last!
Just a couple of jobs to finish and our new house will, at last, become our home.
There were some snagging issues that are being undertaken this week and we have also sorted out the broadband service to the house. The council have delivered our bins, too.
The driveway hardstanding is ready but the entrance where it meets the road has to be finished once the gate posts are in place - these have been on order with a scheduled delivery date of mid-May (i.e. any time now).
We have no storage but a wooden shed-studio is due for delivery and erection in July (we're not waiting for that before we move, though).
The biggest drawback is finding a removal company at a reasonable price who are able to fit us in at the end of this month. We need strong, fit professionals to carry our furniture down the 50 stairs from our flat (no lift) otherwise we might have attempted to hire a van and do the move ourselves. We couldn't book a removal service in advance because the goal-posts were moved on a weekly basis.

Now that the house is completed, we'll concentrate on lanscaping - let's hope for a good summer!
