Construction plan arrived.

Well, it arrived 5 days ago and it has occupied us (and others) since then. Our first task was to use hieroglyphics to draw in where we want to have switches, sockets, lights, the cooker and the oven. This is sent back to the factory and discussed in detail next week. See abstract artwork here, click to enlarge:

 

While drawing the cupboards and wardrobes etc., I noticed that the wall between the two bedrooms had been moved and wasn't the same measurement as the architect had planned. "Only" 10 cm too close to the patio door, but that would have meant we wouldn't have been able to get it opened if we had put our wardrobe against that particular wall as planned. Not only that, the length of the wardrobe is 3.20m, and the space for it to fit into was also 3.20 according to the plan - no room for manoeuvre, let alone skirting boards... So, I drew up plan B (above), but rang Hanse Haus telling them about the problem. They said they would find a solution by next week when we go to the factory to pick our fittings etc.. The way it was intended to look - and the way we would like it to be - is here:

In the meantime we have asked for offers from geologists to survey the land to see if we need anything above and beyond the standard foundation work - we shouldn't because there are plenty of houses around us, but better safe now than sorry later.
