Due to combination of trust, good faith and joint desire to finish the build QSP – Martyn and I agreed on the project overspend and finish the work on a fixed budget. The main overspend was on the foundations which no-one could have forseen and the cladding, which became a lot more costly and time-consuming from the april design and budgeting.
QSP have re-energised the build and are pressing ahead on a number of fronts: cladding, roof, render, drainage …
Kompass the new windows company have had a second site visit and their deposit paid (dont tell the credit card co). Despite having me over a barrel and to their immense credit, the price is a little lower than Rohaus’ which helps with some of the deposit I’ve lost.
I’ve picked up half the bathroom materials from ibath .. decent folk .. so will be able to play at plumbing over xmas after my travels.
So, all was settled on Friday and I was winding down .. for the joiners to blow up and walk off site. Martyn then terminated them and has already arranged other joiners to pick up the project.
No pics again as not enough to show. Not a single piece of cladding went on the building this week. Joiners are no more. Coincidence ?
