GRRRRR

We have been waiting for weeks to get the go ahead from the bank so that we can have a site start. We had previously been told that all we were waiting on was the final permission to start.

Today we found out that they have had everything for ages but somehow failed to ring us to let us know they were missing some forms. As far as the builder and we were concerned they had everything weeks ago. Grrr. So now we have to meet up with the builder AGAIN, go over everything and make sure there is NOTHING else that the bank could possibly need, as they have been hopeless at everything so far.

Luckily the builder has been good so far and has helped us sort through everything. As far as i can see they have gone out of their way to help so hopefully once the bank is sorted the rest of the build will go smoothly.
