We got the certificate of completion from the electrician yesterday - so we can now apply to the ESB (Elec Supply Board) to connect us up to the grid. The electrics aren't actually fully complete - just in a good enough state to connect. There are lights etc to fit still - but it means we can get the boiler powered up soon and get the house dried out fully before laying floors or painting.
Eircom also sent a couple of men today to put up a pole on the site - the first stage towards getting the phone line connected. As far as I know we won't be able to get broadband in the new house - too far out - so that is one thing I'll miss.
The floor screed is due to be laid on Thursday - day after tomorrow - so things are progressing OK now after a bit of a slow down in the past 2 weeks.
The tiler who we have been recommended has cancelled twice this week - but is due tomorrow to check it out. The staircase is ordered, the second fix joiner (doors - skirting ) is booked (date to be confirmed).
It all seems to be coming together now - after lots of chasing of people and messages left. Everyone here seems to be busy - working 6 or 7 days a week.
