Week two

Apologies for not doing separate days but the joiner still hasn't finished and I was hoping to show people the finished product.

Day 5 week two

Joiner Day

The joiner arrived late because he was delayed from the day before at another house. Give the lad his due he worked like a trouper and most of the kitchen was finished apart from one unit to go on the wall and the gas cupboard. He said he would get the rest done tomorrow.

Day 6 week 2

Plumber Day

The plumber arrived and put in the rest of the bathroom suite and re fitted the towel radiator, which immediately caused a leak, but he was able to fix it quite quickly so that was good.

The joiner arrived again and changed one of the units because the cooker gap wasn't quite wide enough for regulation. and did the gas cupboard. Unfortunately he used my wall unit so that meant I was a unit short.

Day 7 week 3

The wall tiler arrived and did the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, the joiner turned up with the unit and said he would be back to fit it when the wall tiler had finished.

The joiner didn't come back so it looks like he didn't get chance will have to remind them on Monday but as you can see its all coming along nicely.

So at the moment we are one cupboard and two doors short.

Day Four

Plastering Day.

The kitchen and Bathroom look like rooms now they made a fantastic job. It was messy though but they did clear it up. Due to the nature of plaster dust I still ended up moping all the way through the house but still the end result worth it. We are due to get the new kitchen units on Wednesday.

Decent homes standard Day 3

Electricians Day

The electrician was very nice and he fitted me a socket in the hallway so that I can now get a cordless phone which is cool.

The worst thing about electrician day was that the temporary sink see previous photo collapsed when I put my pots on it last night, and I only just managed to catch them in time. They have promised to get me a new one for today so we will see.

Plumbing Day

The worst thing about plumbing day was having no water for about six hours but the guy did tell us he was turning it off so I could fill up the kettle first.

I forgot to say yesterday all the guys working on the house have been very nice and considerate, and they have a sense of humour too which is nice.

All we have in the bathroom at the moment is a new bath fortunately we have a downstairs loo so that's ok, and all that's in the kitchen is a temporary sink balanced on some ladders as you can see but the plumber says someone will sort it out tomorrow and not to put too much weight on it lol.

OMG (Oh my giddy giddy gosh)

Decent homes Standard Day one

Demo day (or demolition day)

Well the demo guys arrived as promissed and oh my word did they go to town both kitchen and bathroom knocked back to the brick and the kitchen ceiling knocked down as well the noise was unbelievable but the dust wasn't as bad as I had feared largely because hubby kept the kitchen and living room shut and wedged open both back and front doors see photo's lol.
