Cottage is ours,almost!


Completion date for buying Grange cottage is finally in sight. We exchange on Friday!!
Work is beginning tomorrow however! I have spent 1 1/2 days taking out the carpets & knocking out the kitchen & other cupboards. In fact anything that was fastened down is now out of the cottage. It is stripped bare.
All doors are off & we are thinking of having them stripped.
Tomorrow the ceilings are coming down in a few rooms, so that the electrican can work more easily to put the spotlights in. Seems drastic but it's not such a big job, i'm told; just messy!!
I'm just waiting for a quote from the plumber who came back last week to re-aquaint himself with the job.
The joiner is waiting in the wings to get the ok to start on the windows.
Now i just need to ring the roofer to give him the ok to start. Unfortunately, he still has a few jobs to finish on our house next door!
