Masterstroke MoneyThing ! None of this expensive 4% cashback malarkey, just throw out a bar of Bournville and everybody's in. Oh and Mrs. Guff says hello. And the (three) kids. And the grandson. And Boris the female cat… |

I would go as far as saying that if the build is not complete in August, I will give all participants in this thread to date a choccy bar*!  I take this as meaning all of you Johnny come lately's are too late for choccy. If not, I too have now joined the thread

Well the loan sold out fast anyway, with MT's reputation its to be expected but not with my money this time.

I'm in this loan so hope everything turns out ok. However, if the programme slips I hope Ed isn't the sort of person who would think that buying a bag of fun size mars bars (other confectionery is available) fulfills his obligations.
Getting back on topic, install fire walls, finish roof and get all the electrics finished in the next 8 days sounds ambitious (I assume the building needs to be watertight to carry out electrical works?)

I assumed that the chocolate bonus was for people who posted in this thread before Ed mentioned chocolate. That said, gold stars for both the people doing the DD and MoneyThing for the quality answers to the questions raised. |

I was thinking more along the lines of individual Celebrations, but I suppose I could stretch to 'fun size'! Sorry agent69 - what do you mean by '8' days? Regards, Ed

Regards, Ed No way an individual celebration could be construed as a chocci bar Your earlier post said "Two additional 'sparkies' on site at the weekend with a view of completing all electrical works within a week". I assume they start Saturday, with all electrical work due to finish the following Friday (21st). Must be some crossed wires somewhere!

I see tranche 4 is in the pipeline, along with a report from a company in Lancashire saying completion in 4 - 5 weeks. Appended photos still show a lot of work remaining, so I'm still holding out hope for a September finish (which brings associated reward).
I'm reluctantly down that way next week and will check progress (Why didn't they build a hyperspace bypass between Exeter and Plymouth instead of that crappy A38?) .

According to the email they are doing crosswords all day so not sure how it will be finished.

According to the latest email they seem to be extending the site to Scotland so won't be finished this month:
This loan is to fund continuing work on the development of the student accommodation in Plymouth (please see MTAS707 for details of the initial loan). It is the forth advance. All advances will rank equally.
