Next week we hand in the application for planning/building permission. As the planning adheres 100% with the local building regulations, this is a simplified and abbreviated process, meaning that we can more or less get started straight away. This was the good news we received yesterday from the local council. The plot will be bought in the course of this month or next - you don't actually have to own the plot to put in for planning permission (strange, but true).
When Herr Flick (our Hanse Haus sales rep) was informed, he arranged dates for our visit to the factory: on 19th and 20th March we will be in Oberleichtersbach where we sit down and choose everything from door handles to floor tiles, from toilet seats to bathtubs, from roof tiles to the colour of the house, from window frames to the front door, from the wiring to the plumbing. And much more besides. Everything apart from the kitchen sink - we have to take care of that ourselves ;-). Oh, and the wood-burning stove for the living room - nothing to beat a good old-fashioned fire.
Oh, by the way: those of you who want to read about Hanse Haus and how these pre-fab houses are built can do so here on the British website in English: Hanse Haus And Herr Flick tells me the UK is the fastest growing market abroad.
