Well, we are close on the final issues about the property before I sign a contract.

The bathroom/wc had conformed to previous levels of code for disabled access, but new code regulations now say it's too small! So we need to move a wall out and rearrange the hand sink.

The ceiling tiles in the food prep areas are the type with a relief and holes in it. Current code says that the ceiling must be completely smooth, no areas to accumulate grease and dirt etc. So all these need to be replaced.

The floor tiles also need to clean up to an acceptable level to go with the decor.

So the real estate agent and I have put forward our proposals and we await the reply.

All the plans for the build out are almost complete and the architect and I now need to talk to a building contractor. That will be after the Thanksgiving holidays.
