Its been so hectic I haven't updated on the mill for a while, we are now painting the top floor and laying the bathroom tiles to the top floor only ready for electrical second fix to Laura and Steve's bedroom next week maybe, then we will have second fix carpentry although the doors are not made yet so that will hold us up and then plumbing and carpets to top floor we can then move down to the next floor, so I think another 6 weeks and maybe the top floor will be habitable...that is optimistic though!!! We are digging out the ground floor to lay the floor today although the plumber has just cancelled on us so that could be a nightmare, last night we were laying underfloor cables until late so it now looks like we will be working very late into the night for the next few days... The middle floor is plastered and I have spent the last two gruelling days sanding the floorboards, which having been down for a few hundred years it wasn't easy! and I was glad to get the machine back off hire and recover from blistered hands!!!
We have tilers and tree surgeons here today hopefully in the right places and the right way around!... The Mill is a mammoth task and we are trying to keep to a tight budget, I choose what we need and then we have to get a cheaper option as everything is so expensive, its a bit like monopoly money at the moment , nothing feels real, until I meet with the bank!!!... The sale is seemingly still on course but still no exchange, it will be a deferred completion of up to a year but the exchange has to be quick if we are to get on with the Mill, or we will have to pull everyone off the build on Friday.... I'll keep you posted on that one!
Ill take some pictures when I get a mo and you can then see some progress!
