Patience brings progress

As the sun gets lower in the sky and the days shorter I look back and think it has been over 3 months now since we moved into Mill Barn and although a lot has happened and we have made good progress we are still playing the waiting game. That is one thing you learn when undertaking restoration projects - it all takes time and it is no good worrying about it.


For the first time last week when I looked to purchase something on the internet - our address came up - so that was a step forward - as an unregistered property things tend to get difficult when you try to change your address to one that the computer insists doesn't exist!!


The permission has finally come through for our water supply - so that can now be installed and we will soon be making the necessary preparations for excavating the trench and installing the pipework needed to connect to the mains. This needs to be done before the winter - currently thanks to the farmer we are taking water from his supply - but this means long lengths of exposed pipe - prime for freezing up as the days and nights get cooler.


So it is all good stuff, but now all we are waiting for are the planners, but that is another entry...
