Another visitor

The project manager appointed by our engineer to do the actual legwork for our renovation paid his first visit to the house today. We discussed the current state of the plans and notified him of some minor amendments. We're still unsure about the layout of the doors between the main bedroom, the en suite and the dressing room. There's probably a whole separate post in that (with obligatory tedious illustrations).

But the main point for the moment is that we are aiming to stick to the builders' suggestion that they can be on site at the end of this month. The Council requires two weeks' notice from the builders prior to commencement of any work, so that will have to go in this day week. Which gives us a week to place a formal order with the builders and work with the project manager to finalise the drawings to contract and construction specification.

Sorting out those upstairs doors is the most urgent part of that. If we can draw things up to our satisfaction this evening, the project manager should have the plans ready for submission to the builders by the beginning of next week.

Still, if we edge into February before the trucks arrive it won't be the end of the world.
