Re: Staying put.
No, I don't suppose I will now Patsy. He told me he had been ill but wouldn't say what was wrong, which is fair enough, it might have been something personal for all I know. All he said was he is awaiting some test results which could take up to a month!So it's back to the drawing board and trying to decide the right thing to do.
I have 3 options that I can see at the moment:
1. Find another builder
2. Defer it till next spring now
3. Keep the builders money and put it towards another property. Only thing with this though, is I like my bungalow and pretty garden here, and also I wouldn't get a good price for mine as it stands.
I'm finding choosing the right answer really difficult, and my son is not a lot of help!

Its worth looking at other properties, you may get a bargain and have aspects you love, in your shoes I would do that until next spring - maybe the timing is wrong for you at present, things can turn around for the better and things just fall into place, so maybe a wait and see now only more relaxed about it - we don't need that kind of stress x

Bless you Patsy, that makes a lot of sense. Don't they say something about 'decide in haste, repent as leisure.'
I'd like to get shot of my insurance company as well, because I reckon they will up my premiums considerably after all this. Trouble is, with a subsidence problem, no one else will touch me, so I'm stuck with them.
Hope it doesn't become a case of which falls apart first - me or the house! If I stay awhile longer, I just hope nothing gets worse over next winter . . .
