Well I'm sitting here very smug.....I've just read Ric Capucho's blog ( see the link on this site) and it seems there has been an unfortunate delay at his end.....

It's a pity we didn't have any money on this race, but I wonder what odds I would get now on the race to handover????

Just to update Ric...the floor screed is all down and perfect. My Huf project manager came down on Thursday to check things over but didn't have a key so we couldn't get in to inspect.. we peered in the misty windows and it looked good and I saw the Guys leaving earlier in the week, so I know its all done!!!!!

Starting again on the 8th is the team to fire up the boilers ( that's providing the Gas Main people come on 2nd January and the seperate Gas Meter people come on the 3rd January. Whilst we still haven't got electricity but we have our firiendly neighbours to plug into.

So it all looks fairly straight forward now...bit of tiling...bit of insulation in the basement...throw a carpet or two down, oh and put the bathrooms in and paint it all over.so lets say...a couple of weeks ??? Well actually its handover on week 9 !!!

If the Huf performance is anything to go by, Ric's delay will be made up by those German guys working day and night....anything to get it all complete by the sheduled day....

Off to France for Noel....so au revoir to all you readers...be back on the 27th to check that my Huf Haus is still there...and Happy Christmas to Ric.....and its not so bad coming second !!!!
