house update

we had a long meeting last night with the builder and the architect to try and work out why our house building is so far behind and to try and set a new realistic starting date. it now doesnt look like it will be done for christmas :(

there has been delays all along but especially with the structural steel and now it seems with ordering the windows. where so much of the house is floor to ceiling glass, until the window frames are in not much else can be done because the windows set the level of the floor and the ceiling. it has really been getting to us both this last few weeks. it is very frustrating to visit the house at the weekend and discover that not much has changed, or when Tony tells us that the builders only turned up for half a day that week.

the result is althought the builder is still aiming for end of december, it is more likely to carry over to next year. the architect reckons march! yikes. that would make the whole project time 2 years!
