Yes, another landmark event. Do you know, we might actually be at the end, or at least a step closer to it.
Today I handed back the key to our storage facility. We had hired a room at a local self storage warehouse to put a lot of our general clutter that we had lying about the house. It gave us the space we needed while the builders were crawling around our house. With the builders almost gone, we decided that we should clear out the store bring all our stuff back. Amongst other things it enables us to stop paying for it. Due to the huge over-run, we had gone over budget with the storage costs.
So the garage has filled up again with our stuff instead of the all the builders' stuff. Not everything has found a permanent home as yet. A room is still not finished. The study needs to have a window enlarged to please the building inspectors. All to do with escape routes etc. The window has been measured and is on order. A couple of days ago the builder told me it should be installed sometime this coming week, hopefully tomorrow. Once it is in, we can decorate, fit desk tops and shelves and put in there some of the stuff currently in the garage.
We are now starting to look at the back garden. It has always been in the plan to have this done, but the extra costs in the house extension has resulted in us waiting for the build to finish before going ahead. We have had two quotes which have been almost identical. Looking out the back, seeing the garden in a state. I am now wanting to progress on that.
