Got the long awaited phone call yesterday.... my 'room' will be arriving on THURSDAY! Then a few days after that that erectors will arrive and it will only take one day to put up! YES!!!!

I think I'll phone him and maybe sort of book him???LOL Better get going on ordering some damp proofing and the insulation. My car is booked in for a service on Wednesday and I was going to a DIY store while I wait anyway... so now I can buy and not just look! Will also look for more wallpaper samples, dad hates it when I do but the stores don't object and it's not like I don't spend a small fortune on other stuff while in there!!!! Might look and see if they have the heater I want while I'm there as well? Oh, and lighting and floor coverings and perspex and ....... Yeah, I will need to

The walls at the back will need windows and sometimes doors, plus if the floors are divided the the wall coverings will differ. I was going to just take a few pictures to gage size and added Emma for scale.... but as
