Hardly a renovation but i'm redecorating my room and bathroom. The bathroom is half way to being completed, just needs the floor tiled and accessories put in.
I'll take pictures of my room before i start i've choosen the colour, needs a lot of work but hopefully Martin will be able to help.

We're getting there.

This evening we had a builder and a plasterer round to quote, tomorrow we have another builder and on wed we have a joiner round to quote for the stairs.

Windows are booked in for 3rd week in March.

Skip is coming on the 1st of March ( I have a day off work ). I'll be spending that day sorting out all the ****e in the shed and cupboad under the stairs - we're hoping to then spend the weekend ripping out the kitchen

Tomorrow we're ordering the kitchen, has about an 8 week wait so we're doing that first then sorting the worktops out afterwards - we're probably going for the solid surface but need to wait for other quotes to come in before we can work out if it comes within budget

Need to get the place empty and ready for the builders by about the 8th of March.

The point where I start thinking " oh crap why did we start doing this " is coming ever closer :/

Just remember how fantastic it's going to look when it's all complete

It'll definitely be worth it in the end. Sure, it'll be awful whilst they're doing it but once it's all finished you'll be so pleased with it. Little bits fall off and break in our kitchen every day, and the job becomes more and more urgent... we just need to cash to do it... and the lounge... and the hall... and the bathroom etc. etc.

I am so sick of living in what looks like a builders yard.

Piggymon · 21-02-2007, 12:49

I'm just glad we're moving out whilst the work is being done - I'd go potty otherwise :/

Have some good news about the worktops

All fully fitted with a moulded sink comes to £2.5K so we're within budget for the kitchen

We're going to order the B&Q kitchen today

YAY !

I wish i could offer you the use of my card for this Piggy but as it's an order i really can't due to the names being different

Piggymon · 21-02-2007, 12:56

Aww don't be silly Paula, the thought hadn't even crossed my mind

Thanks for thinking of us

Blackstar · 21-02-2007, 12:59

I know you wouldn't expect it Piggy

if i'm ever down in your neck of the woods i'm more than happy to raid b&q with you guys. They treat me like crap so i should really make more use of the benefits.
