    Hi Short-n-Sweet and welcome!

    I'm sure they can get it up and the roof on in 6 weeks just stand your ground on this.
    Do they have a long stop clause in the agreement?
    How late will this daily make it from original completion estimate?

    We went to pick our kitchen units etc and bathroom tiles on Saturday and have been given the go-ahead to apply for the mortgage in full. We have now been given a completion window of May/June,
    Love our kitchen but found the bathroom tiling hard, we have gone for a black/white half tile and co ordinationg white on the rest which looks great in the show home but have altered it slightly. I didn't really like a lot of the others so just hope what I picked looks good when we move in lol

    Short and Sweet we are also waiting on others (opposite ours) having their walls and roofs on until we can move and have been given may/June as our estimate date. Having said that ours is still at first fix electric stage so not Completely done yet either.
