Nigel, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my wife will keep pushing things the other way. Her feelings on the place are:

1) There is plenty of room to stay with her parents when we are up there (which she is right about)
2) That this is therefore an enormous waste of money (which she's probably right about)
3) That the only reason we are building this to give me somewhere to sit around all day and drink beer without getting too involved in the day-to-day minutiae of family intrigues (which I sincerely hope she will also be proven right about).

Happy Christmas to both you and Jan BTW...
