Well well well lads. How safe does this look?
We're starting to look more closely at the cottage. If you don't follow us on Facebook you may not know that we were finally approved for a loan from our local Credit Union! That is big news because the Bank of Ireland have refused to give us a self-build mortgage (they don't like a protected structure anywhere close by) and we don't have huge hopes for AIB.
Not only have the CU approved us, they also gave us a bottle of wine, which I am currently enjoying, to celebrate the beginning of our life of debt. Don't mind if I do!
Back to the photos... Chris and our wonderful neighbour (and his son) propped the floor of the cottage today. I am a little sad I wasn't around, but tomorrow we will be putting down some ply boards and finally accessing the top floor (it's good to have the joists propped but it is the floorboards that won't take the weight). There will probably be a video documenting the process, but I might need a few days to put it together,
