Where did the last 5 days go?

Untitled DocumentAngela and I spent last Friday at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the Excel in East London. The main reason for going up there was to meet again with our proposed frame builders Welsh Oak Frame.

They had drawn up a quote based on our previous meetings, once I got up of the floor we agreed to move on to the next stage which is for them to draw up a 3d walk through so we can see exactly where the oak frame will be seen in the finished building.

We are both looking forward to getting to that stage as it will give us some idea whether or not we have got the balance right allowing us to add or remove oak as necessary. I think we will also feel the project is finally moving on as nothing has really happened since obtaining permission.

The rest of the day was spent around the rest of the show, we meet several contacts for bricks and roof tiles , driveways, rainwater harvesting, oak windows and doors, cast iron gutters and soil pipes and heating systems.

All of which I will looking into over the next couple of weeks.
