18.06.06 Hoorah!

We had our home assessed to see whether it was uninhabitable or not. The council say its not habitable. Hoorah! Its not often in ones life that you can get excited about your home not being habitable, but today is the day! We dont have to pay council tax until we move in. That can be up to a year. Sometimes it really doesnt seem like our home. There's still a huge amount to do and I dont feel as though I can properly call it home and believe that its ours until we do move in.
We've had quotes for scaffolding and they should come and put it up in 3 weeks time. The gas central heating man has been and is getting married in 2 weeks time so that will give us time to buy the radiators and boiler before he gets back off honeymoon. Once the scaffolding is up for a month we can paint the whole of the outside with protective paint and mend the wooden detailing where the old windows used to be on the side of the house. We can also sort out the roof and guttering.
It seems like we are finally moving again. Well, this time in 3-4 weeks we will be!
