Monday - Thursday

Hi

Well I'm writing this on Sunday and I have no idea what I did Monday to Thursday.

here are a few of the things I remember!

I ripped up all the carpet in the games room - the carpet was horrible and stained and you can see where the old reception desk was because it was the only bit of the carpet that looked its original colour.  So I ripped it all up and took it to the tip.  Underneath was floor boards - all the same with no big boards in it - yay! However some have been stained dark and others have not - so all of it will have to be sanded back - a BIG job especially as the pool table is in there!  This is something that won't get done for ages!!

I also did one part of the tiling in the back porch! quite stressful but finally have some tiles actually down - and I'm really pleased with it!  I have another section to do - the main section - the biggest part!  Dreading it - and can't wait for it to be done at the same time.

I have been on the phone to my dad a lot too - as I was getting measurements again for the door that is to be fitted in the back annex room - leading to outside.  I think he has everything he needs now and he is coming to fit it in September.

I have been on to the plasterer about how he needs to stop prioritizing other jobs and come and get mine down as I've waited 4-5 weeks now and the floor will be fitted soon! 

I had a carpenter round about the boxing in needing doing in the bathroom, the door frame in the kitchen annex and a door fitting internally.

I've been testing more floor dyes trying to figure out what I am going to do in the hallway!

Thursday, I went out shopping for something to take to Lissa and Antony as a house warming pressie - I got them some outdoor plants (Rosemary, Oregano and Bay) a cat plant pot for outside, some fake roses for a vase, a bottle opener that goes on the wall and a sign, for their man-cave where they are having a bar and a couple of ornamental bottles! 

Thursday night we got ready to get up very early friday morning ....
