Week 4

A disastrous start to the week – no one turned up at all on Monday, and when Mark finally got hold of the tiler on Tuesday he said the earliest he could come would be Friday! So definitely no bathroom this week.


On Tuesday, the carpets and vinyl were laid – the former is very soft and the latter very green!

Wed and Thur were write offs because we got the floor sanded and polished (hallway kitchen and dining), and so this meant no one could walk anywhere.


So when we moved in our stuff on Friday, the tiler began work on the bathroom, and the electrician didn’t turn up.

They did a no-show on Saturday too, but the gyprocker came to set the walls in the kitchen and linen closet.

So here were are in our new home. No kitchen, bathroom or lights, but we have lamps, a microwave, toaster and kettle and some really good friends in the next street who have cooked for us and given us use of their bathroom.

Ela’s room looks lovely with her winnie the pooh curtains and wall decs, although she’s more impressed with the purple room!









Next weeks plan:
Monday/Tuesday Tiler finishes bathroom
Monday – Electrician fits light fittings in all rooms and connects TV aerial.
Wednesday – plumber installs taps & toilet
Thursday – Kitchen is installed.
Friday plumber installs kitchen appliances (sink, dishwasher, cooker).
At some point we need to have a ceiling put in the bathroom too!
