Saturday 28th March 2009

Well, Kevin - the rubbish removal guy, came nice and early. Reasonable quote and will be back on Tuesday to do it. There is a lot to shift and at around £30 a tonne it's got to make more sense than hiring a big skip at around £180 and doing the labouring myself!

Don't expect today to be very active - a few minor bits of carpentry that are within my very limited skill range.

Was looking last night at cooker hoods. We wanted an extractor one, but due to the cooker position, fitting one could be very expensive. Have decided on a re-circ one that can fit - out of site - in the chimney void. Need build a framework in the fireplace to support it and get John the electrician to advise on supply.

Now I know John is coming on Wednesday, I have booked Dan the plasterer for Thurs & Friday.



I guess a visit to the carpet fitter is called for to discus laying at least one of the rolls of Rhinofloor that I keep tripping over in the lounge! Can't have all the flooring done at once because the kitchen flatpacks are hogging the conservatory and so it can't be floored until the main kitchen units are built / fitted, and that can't happen until the kitchen flooring is down. Does that make sense?

Piccies show current state of conservatory and the flooring we have chosen.

PS: Vinyl in kitchen booked to be fitted a week Monday.
