Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom, the walls are sparkling and so is the suite, all the mats and towels and bath robes washed and dried. Everything in the kitchen was moved to the dining area, microwave, cooker, washer and fridge and the floor swept and cleaned.
Today we were at Mums for 7:30 to make sure things were ready for the fitters coming at 8:30, they were on the dot! All the units were removed and the electrician and plummer were working away, until....they discovered a leaky pipe near the boiler...not what we wanted!! That held up the job for at least an hour, judging by the state of things it had been leaking for a very long time, the back of the sink and next cupboards were rotten through, thank goodness it was discovered and fixed. After that it was all systems go, they worked so hard and got it all done by 3:30, it looks fabulous! Dad had left the money to pay them and they didnt charge anything for the extra work so we gave them a jolly good tip, which was worth every penny. I painted the cupboard I should have done yesterday and cleaned up the mess from the fitting. Hubby has replaced a light fitting upstairs and a new flourescent in the kitchen, just the new blind to hang tomorrow.
We will be up and off early again tomorrow the fitters are coming with the cushion floor at 9am and I want to give the floor another wash first and do another coat of emulsion in the cupboard. Then its just a case of refilling the cupboards and doing a thourough clean up. Hopefully on friday we will have enough energy left to wash down the conservatory and jet wash the garden paths as they are covered in sawdust. I have taken a few photos of before and after so I will show you them when everything is complete.
Despite having a sore throat and a bad tickly cough I have been sleeping really well.
Better go and have a nice soak in a hot bath and get ready for the morning.
Take care

ReplyDeleteWhat a good job that leaky pipe was discovered. I can't wait to see it all. I think you deserve a good rest over Easter after all that hard work.
ReplyDeleteSounds like hard work, but the results must be so worth it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely when workman go that extra mile and don't charge you an arm and a leg for it, always worth a nice tip for them when they do that.
