Well, as you can see, we have ourselves a roof covered with sarking, dormers and if you look carefully 2 velux windows to the front plus two at the rear already in place.
Ian and I were invited to have a poke around the house last Sunday. We were there to decide where the TVs, speakers and any additional wiring should go, along with a last chance to change walls or doorways.
The electrician was scheduled within the next few days.
I was also asked to provide the plumber with all of the things that need fitted behind bathroom walls. Given that I detest seeing wires, pipes anything that distorts a clean line of a room basically, there's a bit of shopping to be done.
Majas school was closed for half term on Monday and Tuesday,I intended leaving everything until Wednesday. Not to be. Johnny the plumber spoke to me on Monday and said get a move on Mrs.
The next morning Maja was duly dropped off at my mums, as planned, while I would go to my yoga class, no such luck however,I chased my tail round bathroom stores looking for shower fittings, frames and anything else I could get my hands on.
I had planned to collect Maja along with her wee cousin at lunchtime, after lunch stupidly took them both shower shopping, thereafter the wee chap got into every bathtub in the store while Maja ran face first into a big glass shower screen, busting her lip and loosening her two front teeth, thankfully still baby ones. Frazzled the assistant stuffed a brochure into my hand and held the door open for me.
Ian, I have to add had taken off to Bucharest, and looked like being stuck there indefinitely due to more volcanic ash.
I also met with the kitchen supplier, and handed over my less than realistic wish list, he is going to send out some door samples in the next week or so.
The folks from the stove centre were also out to see where we could place our wood burner, unfortunately due to the dormers upstairs, it is not possible to put it where I would have liked, it will now go in the corner, leaving a big empty wall. Ian has embraced this silver lined opportunity, and is on the other laptop looking for a huge big tellies to fill the space along with upgrading the low voltage wiring diagrams. I am now getting a TV in the kitchen and Ian has asked if I would like internet access, that means Good Food online, no brainer, however when he decided that we need internet access in the main toilet I shot him down. Take a newspaper in like everyone else for gods sake. Am I wrong?
I have picked, ordered and even collected all the en suite fittings, and possibly even picked the tiles for the floor.
A very hectic week, but I can more or less tick a room off. only 10 more and 3 hallways to go.
I don't want to even think about the garden. Next years project.
