Things are looking up!

Just heard that I may have some good news next Monday regarding the planning. Plans for a minor change to the Licence are in hand so we could be up and running for Easter. Now the hard work will start. Thanks to those who have assisted with support, advice and encouragement.

Two steps forward One step back

Still plodding on but nothing goes smoothly now on plan D for cellar location and still battling for Plan B regarding the loo but getting chinks of light and can't wait to get cracking. February will come and go but hopeful for a March start. Cheers mildorbitter.

Struggling on

Happy New Year
The year has started as the old one finished still waiting for a date for the change of use.
Technical issues relating to planning consent from the 1980's are the current problem.
Just got to be patient I guess!
I have picked up paneling for a bar front and have been working on plan B,C and D regarding the location Of the casks if my preferred cellar plans are blocked.
We Will get there but early March looks more realistic.
