Whilst being stuck in the mire of indecision over which direction to go in, I though I'd prod myself into action by getting some demolition quotes. I though that's be easy - doesn't matter what's going to go on the site, whatever it is will need to have what's there at the moment removed.
So I send out emails to four or five local companies - partly an attempt to make sure that I've given everybody all the information they need, but mainly my Finnish reluctance to talk to people. One bloke rings back, bizarrely living a few hundred metre from the site - hopefully he's seen it by now. Another calls asking whether we've had the building surveyed for asbestos and plaster.
So now I've got to pay to have holes poked in the place in order to knock it down? I'm quite happy with the idea of 'we found asbestos in it, so we've added x to the bill', but I sort of thought demolition companies took that in their stride. Just wear a mask and gloves and get on with it for God's sake. Hardly the attitude that won us the war...
