The building work on the third room is progressing well, walls for the bathroom are up, the first fix of plumbing is also in, and this week we will get the second fix, once the builder has got tiles in place behind the shower unit. Floor tiles and wall tiles were bought at the weekend, and we are starting to get a bit more savy about buying materials, so the all the main components of room 3 have been purchased at sale prices, so we are doing our best to keep control of the costs on this room, the only thing we have paid full price for so far is the water heater.
The main challenge we are facing in this phase is the eternal cash flow problem, because these guys are moving relatively quickly we need more money at the front end of the project than I expected however that will be solved this week and room 3 will be able to be finished on time, but it is certainly touch & go, who says we would not have made good TV, the only thing we do not do is shout at each other.
I will have to make sure we have the money in place for the next phase as this is the big one, as they say, so we may have a couple of months of inactivity at least from the builders point of view, whilst we build up enough money to pay for the next part of the project. Stay tuned folks it is going to get very interesting over the first half of 2008.
