Oh, I’m drained. So, Hub has today and tomorrow off work to quotes support me. Well, alright he is company and he is now cleaning the kitchen where as I have done it all week. So, he is a help, but as for progressing in the kitchen? Hmm. Put it this way, the builder won’t be getting the job of our kitchen.
The guys who work for him are first class. But are so afraid of the boss, the builder, they won’t do anything without his permission. I wanted my wall light in our conservatory moved to the centre of the wall and the light switch in there moved near the new door where as it was next to the door that is now blocked in so moving the wall light to the left a few inches, may be ten? And the wall switch to the right about 36 inches, so because I’m talking old measurements, and everyone works now in stupid numbers of mm. I can say I wanted the wall light moving 254mm and the switch moving 36in, so in mm that is 914.
I hate working in millimetres, but that is how it’s done now days.
Well those jobs haven’t been done. Basically, my ceiling came down today, we are left with open rafters no lights no boards on the ceiling, but the wiring has been done for the lights. So, half eleven work over for the day. Our builder didn’t even turn up. Just the guys who work for him. Our builder is coming tomorrow to board up the ceiling. Then Monday coming to plaster it. Then it will have to be left two days and the electrician is coming back on Wednesday to give us lights. So, long and short of it, nothing up there tonight but bedroom floors. At least they haven’t fallen through. But the electrician has found faults with the electrics. Not surprised the guy who had this house before us was a bit of a D.I.Y man (Do It Yourself) we have a children’s program called Bob the builder, the guy who owned this house was called, or should have been called, Bodge the builder.
Whilst he was here today, the electrician, wouldn’t you have thought he would have done more work? The movement of what I wanted him to move wouldn’t or I wouldn’t have thought it would have taken more than an hour.
So, where are we now? Our builder told us two days start and finish this part and fitting the kitchen four days max. So, by next Wednesday, that will be nine days. As for fitting the kitchen? The guy today who is lovely, he is a joiner, must be a joiner thing, as our joiner is great and this guy seems genuine too. But he did act shocked when I told him that our kitchen is coming on the 18th of May, so he would need to be here for at least two days before to remove the old kitchen. Old one? He asked? Yes, it needs taking out before the new one in? I was shocked that he was so shocked. So, do they think Hub and I will remove the kitchen? The builder and I spoke about this as he said why not put it for sale? I don’t want to do that. I asked him would he take old away? He said yes, so as far as I’m concerned, they are removing old.
So, we have dust everywhere, no lights not that it bothers us two, but Boy Wonder? And our poor dogs, how do we get them through there at nights to let them out? It’s a very long way from our middle door from the hall to the kitchen then through the conservatory and back through again, now remember poor Wagga yesterday had to jump over the hole that is between the kitchen and conservatory. A hole with big spikey bits of wood sticking out and broken tiles and flooring. LF no trouble, he thought he was just going up a step he took it in his stride, Waggs on the other hand? Well, you would think I was asking her to jump over the highest hurdle and the widest fast flowing river, or over a burning flame!
So, no ceiling until tomorrow, no plastering till Monday. No lights until Wednesday. A mess until Wednesday. Wan a know the best bit?
They kind of swept up today, what with?
Our bloody brush we use that stays outside for the (Dog Run)
Nice.
I’m furious. Half eleven and it’s a day over. Not even seen our builder today. Well, he told us he could do our kitchen in four days. The joiner today said he thinks it will be done in three days. Sad thing is, firstly the nice joiner guy is on holiday when our kitchen is due so our builder is using another person. Secondly, will the four days turn out like the two days to do this work? This should have been two days, going to be nine, so will the four days for the kitchen turn into eighteen?
So now what? Well we, may have an answer.
