Meanwhile on Monday the Appliances arrived for the kitchen. We went for free delivery (spent almost £1000, should have been free anyway). which means Curry's give you a 4hr time slot if you phone after 9pm the night before. Great. So MG is at the house for 3.30pm ready for the 3.45 start and confident they'd be there before close of play at 5pm. 6.30, no sign, so we went over to paint a bit and take over. Dad didn't have the right guide for the router to do the worktop cutting yet either so that job stopped - so no Kitchen Sink yet. At 7.30 MG and dad left for the Chip Shop.
Tuesday we did some Fitting in the kitchen and a bit more painting.
The oven would be in if the cable had been long enough, and the fridge would have been in if Dad hadn't had a moment of misjudgement and put the skirting board in making the space too narrow for it. There was also an issue about needing to open the door wider than 90 degrees which meant we had to stop Colin from changing the hinge side. Wednesday MG took granma to B&Q to get her diamond card then we swapped a bigger wall cpd for a smaller one and got a smaller base cpd. The old base will heve to go somewhere else...
Wednesday we got the new cupboards built and the fridge is in. Yippee.
The kitchen ceiling still has sheets on it rather than a ceiling. It makes going to the bathroom at night interesting because the light shines up through holes in the floor from the kitchen. You have to switch the main light off so people outside can't watch you perform your ablutions through the landing window - still no door then. anyway it is eerie and a bit unsettling.. There are still some stains round the footprint of the old loo. The hosepipe is our advanced cistern filling device. Civilisation can't be too far away can it?
