taps n heaters

Not much point counting weeks anymore as there isn't too much happening!
However today we had two tradespeople turn up - the engineer from Fujitsu who came to check out why we can't get one of the heating units to work, and the plumber who came to fit the taps on the bath and replace the shower taps, to match.

However.....the technician found that the unit was faulty and needs to order new parts, or a replacement unit. ANd the plumber found that the extension pieces that he had brought/been given (needed because the original taps wouldn't fit due to the depth of the tiling) would not fit the new taps we had ordered. So back to the order book for this job too.

Here are the three tap sets we have gone through to date and the actual (temporary) brass ones in use now! Rollover the pics for comments.

Week 8

Well Monday got off to a good start - the electrician came and fitted lights in the kitchen and dining room. One downlight in the hallway and a light pendant in the hallway (but no globes?). Also power to the kitchen and a light/heater/fan in the bathroom.
So that night I took my first shower in a month - with heat and light, but no shower screen. Unfortunately it was somewhat of an anticlimax as the power is not all that strong. Still, better than a bath in the dark with no ceiling!
And I still can't figure out why the light fitting isn't in the centre of the ceiling??
Then on Thursday the airconditioning guys came with two invertors (split system). They fitted the internal units but then left because the weather was too bad to do the outside units! There was a torrential downpour so couldn't really blame them. They came back today to finish the job so we now have warmth in the purple room and Ela's play room - although I haven't quite gotten that unit working yet!

Tiler makes an appearance

Lo and behold the tiler turned up today and did the splashback in the kitchen. More importantly though, he sealed the bath and the four corners of the bathroom with silicone - which means, although there is still no shower screen, we can now take a shower. Praise be - 4 weeks of baths....oh no, three weeks of baths (and one week of nothing!) is enough.

So what's next/left?

The electrician still has some major work to do. Power in the kitchen, rangehood, heated towel rack plus lights/heater in the bathroom. Lights in four of the rooms and the hallway, plus finish off wiring in the TV.

Painter can now finish off all of the odd jobs such as ceiling in kitchen and bathroom, kitchen walls, bathroom window and hallway around bathroom/linen cupboard.

Showerscreen, new taps and vanity installed.

Heating system installed.

Shutters installed.

So we are finally beginning to get there.
