The results are in

Were you holding your breath? Did I scare you?

The engineer/project manager came back this afternoon with word of his researches. With minimal downgrading of the structure, we can have deep-piled foundations for the extension for just an extra 17k.

It's not cheap by any means, but it is within our contingency for the project and it's a hell of a lot less than we were afraid it would be.

We expect work to recommence early next week, and we will also be raising a glass to our project manager who really earned his money on this one.

Sadly, it probably means that we'll have to go shopping for radiators tomorrow...
