@Jesusmaryjosephandtheweedon that’s brilliant. All that flurry of activity and then suddenly you have your home back.
@Toooldtoworry what a pain! As you said though, their loss if they refuse to let the surveyor do an assessment, because if there is any damage they won’t be able to prove it.
@mrssunshinexxx wow your builders are steaming ahead!
Our walls are almost up to roof level and some of the roof components were delivered yesterday. Meeting tomorrow to go over our kitchen plans with the builder, just to confirm I haven’t messed up anywhere before finalising the order. Also going to talk timescales and if we are still on schedule for his initial estimate. If we are, we need to get the kitchen ordered this weekend to make sure it’s here in time.
Two slight hitches though. One is that the gas engineer is not happy about where the architect planned to put the boiler, as it will require a complicated (and therefore expensive) flue. He was keen on putting in the loft, but that’s a hard no from us, given it’s a combi and you need to top them up intermittently, usually in the winter and I don’t want to be clambering around the loft at 6am before we can have any hot water. We think we may have worked out a different solution, builder thinks it’s ok, but need to speak to gas guy again.
The other is that I have triggered my neck issues with all the packing and lifting. Which has massively slowed things down in that department, while I am laid-up with heat packs and painkillers and dh is working away.
