European Travel Kit |
This item I have been holding off from buying because of concerns that the countries would change their laws and the kit would go out of date. This week I got close enough to the leaving date to go out and find a couple of kits and buy them. This is a small, but major, step on the way.
Things with the architect are apparently moving on; I've been having email conversations via my contact and apparently should be able to expect some permission to build around mid February; if this can happen I'll be very happy. There are still confusions between one person asking a question and another; I was under the impression that I would be able to arrange the electrical survey and then EVN would be connecting the temporary connection. According to Lubo this isn't quite the case though he will get the electricity connected by mid February. We shall see; it could be "jobs for the boys" but all these fees are included in the price so I won't be getting any unexpected surprises.
Thinking of getting this one |
This is a good place to once again link to one of my favourite websites that I have found during this whole process. The reason I can link to it is I have decided I will be making my humanure toilet in England and taking it with me; this is so I can be sure I have somewhere to go as soon as I arrive, and also because I wasn't totally confident on finding the correct size buckets etc. I'm actually quite looking forward to giving it a go and I am using the design on pages 166 and 167 of the Humanure Handbook. Of course I'll be blogging when I make it :) I won't blog the first use of it, though. Probably :D
I have had the tarpaulin and other fixings delivered to the studio, and also bought a tyre pressure gauge and a really powerful torch for the journey; the only thing left to buy is the snow chains for Julian and I'm not totally sure of the size of the tyres so I'm holding back on that until I am with him again next.
Not getting through that, huh |
So there you are; stuff HAS been happening.
Can I confirm that the road hasn't been closed...it never opened...
ReplyDelete*coughs* of course :D and no one was driving on it :D haha :)
DeleteProbably a better way of putting it would have been "the road is now not going to be opened for the foreseeable" :/
