(¬ 199 plus yearly subscription.)<br /> I've decided to go with this engineer, following a recommendation and because of his local knowledge.<br /> If any future neighbours out there are interested in sharing the costs by hiring the engineer together, drop me an <a href="mailto:chris@mesosfeer.nl" target="_new" class="contentlink">email</a>.<br /> The architectural engineer is <a href="http://bkdkeuringen.nl/index.html" target="_new" class="contentlink">Bouwtechnisch Keuringsburo Dekker</a>. </p> <h3>Update Prognosis Handover of the Keys&nbsp;&nbsp;<small>'15-02-2007'</small></h3> <p>The site manager has told me that Mesosfeer (the street) will be finished in week 19, the second week in May.<br /> The interior ceilings are being put in at the moment and the garage roof was put on on Tuesday. </p> <h3>Babelfish translation to Other Languages! <small>'05-11-2006'</small></h3> <p>Always good for a laugh.
