and so the "FUN" begins???



With our house plans just about done, bar a few minor changes and the "colouring up" of the drawings (which we expect complete by Monday), yesterday I met with our project manager - Xego, as well as our builder - Peter.We decided that we would start the salvaging process on Monday. We also agreed that over the weekend, Peter and his crew would move the necessary equipment on site to facilitate a good start on Monday morning. HOWEVER, today (being Friday) I arrived to get some internal photos of the house without the previous owners furniture inside to find that the chaps had already started the salvaging process and all the internal doors were off. This is all fine and well as they are as eager as we are to get going! BUT as they were lifting the floorboards - which we intend to relay after the all walls have been bashed down and the messy stuff completed - I was horrified to see that this was being done so badly and that the boards were getting damaged AND Peter was out! Needless to say I told them to "hold their horses" and promtly called Chris who arrived to investigate as I was leaving for an appointment .....and ......... so the "fun" begins?

Looks stunning! And sounds like you made a rescue of that spectacular floor just in time. I estimate our entire ground floor could fit in one of those rooms.
