We've Bought a House - Update

It was a while ago now that I reported our excitement at having found a buyer for Aird View, and then making an offer on a lovely traditional Skye croft house in Roag.

Well. the legal wheels have creaked slowly onwards, and we are still on course to completing the deal - we should be doing the key-swapping on 1st December, and we will then at last become the owners of 7 Roag - here is a picture from the Estate Agent, and I'll take some better pictures very soon!

Before we get the keys, we have rather a lot of furniture to sort out. Most of what we had upstairs at the Barn is no longer needed, and we intend to replace much of Aird View's furniture too. With this in mind, I am holding an 'open house' furniture sale tomorrow - I've been advertising it on an Isle of Skye Sell/Swap/Buy Facebook page. We are hoping that we can clear out much of the surplus bits before we find ourselves having to move it all to Roag!

Meanwhile at the Barn, our builder is yet to start work... We hope this is not a precedent of what is to come... he was supposed to start last week. Hmmm. 

More house news soon.
