By the time this post is written the tiles are on the roof as well and the barn is all saved for the next 30 years. Now work needs to start on the inside… still a lot to do!
Hajni goes to Hungary again coming week and Govert follows her by car on Friday. They will have some heavy talks ahead with the contractor (he doesn’t keep his own time planning). And they will bring a hole lot of money to pay the contractor, the plumber, the carpenter, the gaz man and the talkative electrician.
The barn will get a small living space in it very soon. The contractor expects to be finished before Christmas. This living space will be the base camp for all further renovations. The contractor will make a dormitory for 10-12 people next to the living space. We will try to do further renovations on the house: slower, without a contractor for everything, and for less money.
For the Dutch readers; the contracter is the same Jaap Scholten is writing about in this NRC columns. So we could know what to expect.
