Thanks, really appreciate it.

Well... In another life, I was a stage carpenter and theatre technician,
so yes, I have a garage full of power tools that I know how to use, and
a lot of friends who are similarly handy...
That said, a lot of the work will be done by contractors - there's
issues with the roof and pointing of the stonework that *really* need to
be done right!

??? That's like a warehouse...!

We have lots.
We were going round the building with our surveyor last Friday - he was
taking lots of photos, and so was my wife.
She was taking pictures of all the good bits.
He was taking pictures of all the bad bits...
I'll maybe post some, if I have time.

> Will you blog?

Doubt it. I will intend to, but then never quite get round to it...

Yeah, it's re-usable though... :-)

Oh yes.
We'll actually be living in another apartment nearby, at least for the
next 3~4 months until we get the basics in place... Winter in the
Northern hemisphere...
I guess it is winter in California too, but I assume that's not quite
the same thing?

In the original plan, we were starting the building works in September,
so the basics would be sound by now. But that didn't happen...

For historical reasons (see above) I already know the local hardware
stores and builders merchants pretty well anyway...!

> Enjoy your new place!

Thanks a lot!

When we're redoing the electrics, I think I'll pull some CAT-5 cable
through the walls too. For some reason the original building didn't have
it...
