Also, the carpet we had chosen was not in stock so we went for another option.
The bath we wanted had a seven day lead time and we'd planned to have it in this weekend, so we took a cheaper option, then found out the plumber isn't available till next week anyway. Sods law.
Mark met with the architect on Thursday and came home with new plans. Some good ideas, including an internal (Japanese style) courtyard on the side of the house. Some not so good - a tandem garage rather than a double (side-by-side) one. But the worst of all was that if we follow his plan, we'll have to do it all in one. Originally we had a stage 2 and 3 - to be able to stay there as long as possible and deal with new arrival. However the new plan would mean doing the 2nd storey and extension as one so we'd have to move out. Anyway next step is concept drawings, architect drawings and then council submission.
Hopefully next week will be a little more fruitful. The plan is:
Tuesday - plumber and electrician do their rough in, and painting begins.
Wednesday - walls are lined in bathroom and kitchen
Thursday - Waterproofing of bathroom
Friday - Tiling of bathroom begins, and carpets laid
Saturday - Polish the floorboards
