Been a few weeks since the last post, so thought I would update the blog. In between posts I have been to Zambia with work and Anne is now 31 weeks gone.
Most recent events involve the kitchen installation, and final work with electrics and plumbing. Kitchen is getting painted today and Andy should be completing much of the remaining plumbing work.
Outstanding jobs are:
2nd fix electrics in dining room and family room
2nd fix plumbing for bath upstairs and family room/dining room rads
carpeting entrance hall, baby's room, lounge, hall stairs and landing,
kitchen flooring
lino in bathrooms
final coats of calico in baby's room, family room and dining room
guest bedroom to be re-decorated
outside area to be re-gravelled
Jane and Ed helped this weekend with the painting. Jane was mainly looking after the hall stairs and landing, I concentrated on family room and dining room and Anne was woodwork. Ed helped here and there with odd jobs like sanding, hoovering, insulating, inbetween dealing with the children, which was really useful.
Next weekend we have the remaining coats of natural calico to get sorted in the dining room,lounge and the baby's room.
On Monday 6th Feb, we have the carpets getting fitted and I think we can then start bringing our posessions out of hibernation and back into the house from the garage. That will be a milestone in the whole project, as we start to re-claim the house and make it home again.
Mid-Feb is still looking like the target for internal jobs to be done, we then have silly things like getting the decking down outside, cleaning UPVC outside etc. They're all small-fry in comparison though.
