And they're off!

Lots has happened in the last week.  The structural engineer came on site to take a look at our wonky roof and declared that it could be fixed/supported with wood rather than steel, which was a massive relief.  It will still mean some additional cost but nothing like it would have been if further steel was required.

We received the demolition quote which was all in order and so yesterday we signed the commencement of the demolition contract.  The builder is going to do all of the demolition plus some of the structural elements while we await final pricing and signing of the full contract.

On the way to school this morning, we noticed that the fence around our house was open and there were banging noise and workman ripping stuff out.  As quick as that we've started!  We didn't realise it would happen quite so quickly.  This afternoon I happened to drive past (yeah right!) and saw that there is a skip in the driveway that is quickly filling up with old bits of kitchen.  You know when the skip arrives that it's really happening.
