Still on hols but spoke to Shaun this morning. Mark Fowles is back from holiday and agreed to get their structural engineer involved. The new guy visited the property last night and has already put together a plan for the drain. And even better it's a much simpler solution (which will hopefully take less time and cost less!)
And more good news the lads have been moving on with the downstairs work - building the boys den and starting on the store and utility so hopefully they'll be lots of new things to see when we're back next Monday

Day 43 - More delays
Gawd - we're on hols this week (just arrived at Centerparcs) but have just had a call from Shaun. The info has come through from the Structural Engineer but it's practically useless. He says it's only about 1/3 complete and is real back of a fag packet stuff - just a quick drawing and no calculations.
And now he's sunning it up in the Caribbean.
Shaun (& Fowles) want us to think about getting another structural engineer involved, almost certainly at extra expense to us....

Day 39 - Drain Update
The plot thickens.
Last week our architect (JD) spoke to the Structural Engineer (JB) and thought that everything was resolved. JD told Shaun, who told us. We were all expecting plans & details of the solution to come through this week, but so far JD, Fowles nor ourselves have received anything and now it seems JB has gone to the caribbean for 2 weeks!
Lets hope the info is just delayed in the post.
We don't want to push JD too much as he's just had a significant bereavement in his family.

Day 36 - Things are moving
Quick update - Shaun has heard from the architect who has heard from the structural engineer who has finished our design - hooray.
The removal folk are coming on Thursday - eek!
We have to decide on windows, soon. UPVC or aluminium, except we haven't seen the ali ones....

Day 34 - Weekend update
Little bit of progress this week on the side walls.
This will be the utility room outside door
Downstairs toilet window
View of the internal walls from the back
We're still waiting for the workaround design from the Structural Engineer - Ern is going to give him a call on Monday as it's been two and half weeks now.
We also spoke to our neighbour, Joe, about getting his agreement for the work. Looks like he's going to be fine about it which is good - we must be due some good news!
