Is this thing on...?
It's been a while since my last update and I have no new pictures to add. Things have been moving on in the building. The walls for the toilets are about half way finished and we now have a back door! This means that the building is officially "fermé" - closed.
We are waiting on one of the builders to come back and finish up a few bits here and there. Once he's done that I can pay his bill which is sitting on my desk. I've learned quite a lot about dealing with this kind of thing - delays and invoices and how the two go together.
July and August are the "quiet season" for the Belgian building trade so I doubt there is going to be much going on for the next month or so. Church people will be working though. Alain is planning on spending time finishing off the walls over the next few weeks. We really wouldn't have got this far without his, and François' help.
After that, once the walls are done, we need to install all the trunking for the electricity in the old building. Pipes for the heating will also need to be put in place. We're still hoping that we'll be in the new building in the first quarter of next year though.
