Blimey, we are good to go, well……………

I have an appointment with my builder, 8.00 Monday morning.  Where I’m hoping to start watching the excavation unfold. The builder has provisionally set a target of DPC pre-Christmas, for, his words not mine, blasting it in the New Year.

Fantastic news.  But I’m not sure whether to feel excited or shit scared.  Excited as the projected is finally getting off the ground, literally speaking.  Scared as I’m not sure with have crossed enough I’s and I’m sure I’ve seen some un-dotted T’s knocking around.

No worries, leave it to me.  Famous, or should that be infamous, last words.

We’re waiting on a final SAP estimate calcs, and structural engineering calcs related to a revision in the roof structure.  I’ve decided to to have an open trust effect in the master, or more specifically, my bedroom.

However the buildings inspector is happy to proceed, and the builder is chomping at the bit.  Albeit with stage payments that don’t quite add up.  Trust is the name of the game, I think.  We both agree on the actual total cost, even if how it’s been divided up has been done incorrectly.

I think it’s the unknown and lack of control in all the goings on in this project that are making me nervous. But I’m hopeful that all will start to drop, or be drilled, into place now we are finally going to see some physical action.

Wish me luck, and godspeed.
