A Nice Surprise

The telephone rang on Monday evening and it was the loft man. He said that one of his jobs has decided not to go ahead until some time next year, which means that he could bring our job forward. Yes, yes, yes! Instead of a start date of possibly just before Christmas, but most likely the New Year, he can now start in November. If all goes well they should be finished by Christmas. Fortunately we have already been sorting out all the stuff in the loft (although loads still to do) and buying various bits and pieces that we are going to need so we are fairly on top of things (quite literally really - floor space is rapidly decreasing!). However, we are now going to have to get our skates on - time runs away from you really easily. Our main worry now is the boiler. We're still waiting for another quote before we settle on someone and then we have to wait for them to do it. One plumber has said he couldn't fit us in for four weeks. The boiler HAS to be done before the loft conversion starts. The water tank in the loft has to be gone. Fingers and toes are now firmly crossed. Can't wait for it all to happen. We are getting very excited now!
