Thanks all for the welcome!
OK... Cafe Status... Quick report for those interested.
• Basic building works completed but not satisfactory IMO.
• Dispute regarding finished works: Myself v Agent v Insurance company v Myself.... a lot of red tape but slowly moving forward.
• Permits etc... Tick.
Unfortunately I can't commit to any dates at the moment as there are too many variables beyond my control to deal with.
If there is anything worth mentioning I'll write up a new thread with some progress updates.
Cheers
