Another milestone in the project plan ticked off...

...and it's a big one. If, that is, milestones vary in size, which in the nature of things they probably don't. But anyway, language pedants aside, this afternoon we agreed and signed a contract with our potential builder. So, I can tell you that our builder Ray starts work on 11 May and completes on 27 November... But.... in the first of what I hope is a list of 1 potential delay, it appears that the local electricity board may take 6 weeks to move the electrical supply to the edge of the plot. In which case we may not be able to start on 11 May - it's an overhead power supply so they can't demolish until it's moved. We're currently excited enough to find this more amusing than depressing... The fizz is being quaffed regardless. Hic!
