All seems good and the Site Manager says everything is on track.

It was a bit odd going inside the house, when the wiring/pipework is all on show and there is only 1 side of each plasterboard wall fitted.

I couldn’t believe that they use plastic pipes now, whatever happened to copper piping?!

Fingers crossed that everything remains on track.

It felt a little odd when we got the call from our solicitor saying that the sale was complete and we were no longer “home owners”.

We’ve settled into our rental home for now, and already started to become part of the community as it were, with the supermarkets all checked out, leisure centre investigated etc. Just the Doctors to register with now.

It also means we can keep an eye on our house (read as keep an eye on the builders!), our new house is now up to roof level, with the joists/A-Frames now in place as well as the dormer window frame and the velux windows also in place.

Hopefully the felt/tiles will be in place soon before the really bad weather strikes and then they can continue internal work without being delayed by the weather.

Photo’s to follow soon.

The buyers solicitor is USELESS, I’ve never had the experience of dealing with such an inept firm. They are hard to get hold of, never return my estate agents or my solicitors phone calls. They are always “with a client”, “out to a meeting”, “on the phone” etc you get the idea!!!

We’ve now been promised an exhange of contracts on Monday now. So I hope to god that we do!!!

We’ve already started the rental on our temporary home and moved some stuff in, in the hope that we were nearly there.

Cross your fingers again for us.
