    Had a lovely wait for surveyor... turned up 2 hrs late.... the bloke wasn't bad, reminded me a bit of Paul Hollywood......

    After a few photos and a ah you have a mess.... (yes we kinda know that) it is now being passed to the builders...... there debating on the flooring in bathroom, as to who the responsibility comes to..

    We're still back at stage 1.
