Today the continuing excavations finally unearthed the patio. It's all become rather more relevant since the day before yesterday when we accepted an offer on our [other!] house from a lovely couple who are currently living in their summer-holiday caravan and would like to move in two months from now. So, fingers crossed that it all works out, but meanwhile we need to work out what we can actually fit into the bungalow and what will need to go into storage. In the next thrilling instalment we find out whether our bed will actually fit into the bedroom.
And here may be the perfect storage opportunity as all the horses appear to have bolted...
We will also be reporting soon on the progress of the new house design - we spent some time this week with our architect visiting houses he's built and considering design features and options. They look splendid but {{adopts Kevin McCloud voice}} is what we'd like even remotely achievable within our budget? And if not, what will have to give? Life's too short to... spend two years creating an ordinary house... go bankrupt creating a spectacular house. Desperately hoping for the middle ground and trying not to panic. Of course, we don't have a concept design yet, just a set of somewhat conflicting ideas. We're expecting the first sketches for discussion early next week.
