With the holidays over we were all set to recommence our renovations, but with temperatures well below freezing everything is on hold.
The hole for the water and waste has been filled in and we have a great deal of sand and gravel left over. I'm sure we will find a use for it.
We now have hot water so can shower in our own premises. We just have to be careful as to when we plug in the water heater as our only form of heating is also electric and we have a limited supply. The answer is that during the day we space heat and then water heat during the night. The camper continues to be our night time refuge where it is heated and the bed has an electric blanket.
We have had visits this last week from a couple of electricians to quote for rewiring. Now waiting for their written quotes. Also had a quote for replacement windows and doors. So things are moving be it ever so slow.
The other document received was the architects estimate as to the cost of the project, as seen by his eyes. When we recovered we set about making comparisons and eliminations. A tweek here and there.
Decided against going to the first day of the sales today. We may miss out on some items but the small roads in the village are like glass so better to stay in today and hope that the weather will warm in the next few days.
