It Looks Alright From Here

I suppose there’s never a good time to leave a self-build project alone for a week.

However as it seemed to take an age to get this one going, and at times, it felt impossible to predict when it might start, so I thought it fairly safe to book a short ski trip.

This trip is now upon me and it really has come at a critical point in the build process.

We’re nearing the end of, what I would call, phase one.  That is the completion of the shell of the property, which in turn means I have to place orders or instructions for the fitting out of the project.

Prices are still coming in, and will continue to, in spite of my temporary absence.

It isn’t obvious to me at this point which route to go down.  Should I continue on a more expensive yet less troublesome route, or should I now take the reigns on every single detail?

Hopefully the few days away will give me some time to reflect and maybe generate a plan to act through.

I also hope to come back to a shiny, well, granulated, tiled roof, a week today.

The batteries on the calculator will also get a week to recharge, and with all sorts of prices due in, they’ll be need it.
