Monday/Tuesday, 23/24 March 2009

We spent the weekend cleaning up a bit, mainly cleaning the remaining grout dust off the tiles in the bathroom and en-suite. Paul discovered some lumps under the vinyl in the en-suite and it appears that the fitters didn't do a very good job of cleaning the floor which they said they would take care of. We have contacted the supplier and hopefully they will come and sort this out.

On Monday, Mark, Sid and Fred returned to finish off all the last remaining little jobs and the fitting of the kitchen. The electricians joined them today to complete the electrical installation over the next couple of days prior to doing a final test.

First job was for Mark and Sid to apply latex to the kitchen floor where it was very rough and uneven from the tiles being removed. Then they set about making up some of the kitchen units:












Some architrave and skirting was also fitted and the towel rail fitted to the vanity unit in the bathroom. Now that Fred has finally finished the outside painting, he was able to start putting the first couple of coats on the ceiling in the sun room:
















On Tuesday, while we were at the hospital for Paul's appointment, the remaining doors downstairs were hung. Some more skirting and architrave was fitted and Fred moved on to the walls in the sun room.

The scaffolders arrived to remove the scaffolding - what a difference that has made. We're sure the neighbours are more than pleased about that.














Mark and Sid carried on making up kitchen units and the electricians carried on with the lights and sockets. The new (correct) fridge was delivered, also the vinyl for the kitchen and bathroom floors, the end panels and 900 pan drawer unit for the kitchen.
