Friends and family are already inviting themselves for a visit on condition that they get to sleep in the windmill, but that's a step too far for the town planners, and probably over-reaching our budget somewhat. As it is, the windmill is marked as "storage space" on the plans we filed, which allows us to clean it up and install some basic plumbing. And between you and me, if I decide to spend the night in my windmill, no earthly force will get me out of there! Except perhaps the spiders...

Hope all goes well! Right now it seems that the town council won't let you use the windmill as some kind of living space, is that correct? Or is that something you wouldn't want anyway? Congrats!
