ARGGHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111
*breathes* WTF is it with tradesmen and letting you down ! ARGH !!! The stairs is the last thing to be sorted out. 2/3 weeks ago I phone a joiner and he comes round a few days later .. he thought we just wanted a ready made MDF jobby so said he would have to get another dude round and said he would phone me ... a week later no luck so I left a message. Didn't get back to me the next day so I rang again and finally spoke to him. Said he would call his joiner .... again ... and get back to me last friday. I'm now pissed off so phone another joiner who comes round last Friday, seemed to be ok. Said he would get a quote in the post. Today comes round and no sign so I call .. no answer - leave a message asking him to get back to me urgently. Nothing by this evening so I've just phoned ANOTHER joiner who is hopefully coming round tomorrow night *is pissed off* |

Bloody tradesmen ! We've just sorted out the kitchen - cupboards are now empty ready for tomorrow's destruction All the boxes in the dining room will be relocated to the shed and upstairs and we've FINALLY decided on colours. Pics :- |

So am I !!!! .... The kitchen is the worst room in the house but doing what we need to do is going to cost mega bucks so we had to wait until the current mortgage deal finished so we could remortgage to get the cash to do the downstairs.
When we move back in it will feel like we're moving into a new house |

The corner wall where the boiler is, that's an outside loo.
That wall is being knocked down to square off the kitchen and we're going to be putting a window there The floorboards look half decent in the photo but they're actually rather poo so we're plyboarding the floor and then getting a cherry oak type floor fitted. Fireplaces are being knocked out and replaced with a nice simple hole in the wall where we're going to put candles and pebbles and stuff It's destruction day WOOOOT !!! |
