So near yet ...

... so far!  We signed the contract for the barn at our solicitor's office at 8am this morning.  Not a bad start time for a Monday.  It's now gone off to the seller's solicitor, accompanied by a response about the abatement for the encroached fence.  They haven't yet come back on that, so completion tomorrow looks doubtful.

We haven't heard any more about the extra bit of land, so completion on that tomorrow seems an impossibility.

And I keep trying to contact the architect but to no avail.  They weren't picking up the phone last Thurs or Friday, then when I eventually got to speak to someone at 5pm today, our man was busy and, despite leaving a message for him to call me back, he didn't.  Might be time to read our new yellow pages starting at A ...

At least the banks have come good.  Our account looked really healthy over the weekend after the mortgage arrived on Friday, but most of it has gone to our solicitor now ready for completion - tomorrow?  Do hope so, otherwise I'll have to postpone the asbestos gang as they're lined up to come in 1st thing Weds!

I even managed to apply for a discount card today for use at builder's merchants like Jewson.  And checked out prices of sheds and requested another fencing quotation.

We're pulling out all the stops to be on top of things; just wish others would do their Jewson bit.
