Update?, what update!

Well,how long's it been since i started this site? The project should be well on its way by now, but we still have no money to start proceedings!
We had a guy from the electric company based in Germany, over a few weeks ago & he was very helpful with my 'issues' i have with electric & he went away saying he wouldn't hound me for an order. I explained that certain criteria had to be met 1st before ordering the heating, like: get some money in the bank & buy the cottage! Minor detail!
Unfortunately, time is moving on & summer is drawing to an end. Fortunately, most of the work is being done inside, except the renewal of all the windows!
My hands are tied as far as geting anything started. Hopefully i have used thes few months wisely to get quotes in but my interest is dwindling by the day!
