The asbestos men have been and gone, and we've reached a turning point in the refurbishment. We've cleared out what's going, and now we're ready to start putting new things in.
The structural steel is on its way and the electrician will be moving in to start work. The wiring is being concealed so far as possible, so he needs to be the first one involved. The whole building is being rewired, because it wasn't worth trying to tease out which bits of wiring were new and which were elderly; better by far to know it's all modern and up to standard.
I've spent much of the last week signing contracts for alarms, CCTV, telephones and so on. On top of that, we have to apply to a lot of people for permission to move. The one thing they have in common is that they all charge a fee.
Nevertheless, we know it will all be worth it in the end.
