A very quick update with the good news.
Following the meeting with architect, QS and Builder last Monday, we have agreed a build design and build cost that meets our needs and, most importantly, our budget.
Mobilising work begins on Monday 20 May - that's next week!
We will travel back to Skye on 10 June when they should have levelled the site and made some connections for utilities etc. Then there will be a 36 week build time plus 2 weeks for Christmas. At least they will be carrying out the exterior build work during the (Scottish) summer.
Reason for visit - to check the house will be sited where we want it! Could have some fun with that one.
Anyway, we have an agreed contract end date of 22 March 2014 so let the new countdown begin. (Have worked out that gives me 204 days to work, excluding bank holidays)
Photos of the levelled site and beginning of the build to follow after 10 June. We are hoping to spend the weekend in the Skye / Lochalsh area so could be some good walking and perhaps some midnight sun for interesting photos.
Keep watching this space.
