Got an email from the planners today saying that although they still have some concerns about our fireplace proposals, they would prefer the brick one - which is a shame 'cos we prefer the appearance of the stone one (with a freestanding fire) although we would like it in brick! We might even move it to be against the gable end wall - not sure yet.
Also spoke to the structural engineer about how we can get things moving. He's going to send us a plan with suggested trial hole positions, so that we can get a contractor in and start some digging! That should enable us to establish where the undersides of the existing walls are and what type of soil we've got. The engineer should then be able to give us some firmer ideas about foundation options (and so costs).
And the mystery of the lost key is resolved. The post office had held onto it for 16 days due to 'insufficient postage'. So two 1st class stamps ain't enough these days for a 6x4 envelope containing a tiny key weighing a few grams.
