The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
Now give me money

Today we signed a second mortgage agreement on the property. What was supposed to have been a simple short term loan to cover invoices by the current contractors (excellent Polish builders) turned into a full mortgage application. Instead of the week or two we assumed the process would take, it’s been two months with at least another two weeks to go.

Hopefully the Poles can resume building by the middle of September, and if all goes well we might (might!) just be able to move in before Christmas. But as this is Belgium, optimism usually goes unrewarded…
