Building Work

At home this week, we’ve got the builders in again. This time last year it was the bathroom getting knocked apart and now it’s the turn of the kitchen to get some replanning.

We’ve got a small (useless, space-taking) wall to be knocked down, a tiled floor to come up, a ceiling to be replastered, some pipes to be moved and/or boxed in, a new outside light to be installed, and the poxy horrid sliding backdoor (think sliding patio door, but also one that tips back from the top in order to come out) is being replaced by a window and single door. I think that’s it, but there’s probably other stuff going on as well.

All told, it means that this week is going to be slightly chaotic – and pretty dusty.

Then in a couple of weeks time we’ve got a delivery of new kitchen doors coming, along with worktop (sound familiar?) which will then get fitted and done the following week. (with luck, and assuming that the order comes through a) on time and b) correct. I’m placing no bets on either of those occurrences, let alone both)

So by the end of March we should have a redone kitchen – we’re not doing the full extension in the end, so this will be a replan that makes the place work better, but for about 1/15th of the cost…
