Today seems to be no different from the rest of the week as far as things going wrong are concerned. The end panels for the kitchen units arrived but the ones for the end of the oven housing still aren't right. Apparently the manufacturers don't do decor end panels for this size, so large larder unit end panels were ordered but they're not deep enough as they're normal cupboard sides. We've now got to wait for two "fitter's panels" to arrive next week which should be the right depth and can be cut to the correct height. To say Mark is frustrated is a bit of an understatement.
The cooker hood was fitted, and very nice it is too except for some damage to the rear corner of the glass. Another one has been ordered and the glass will be replaced when it arrives next week.
The electricians fitted the bathroom mirror (which has lights) yesterday but the sensor didn't work. Another one was picked up from the suppliers yesterday and Mike brought it with him this morning but when the box was opened the new mirror was broken. A new one has been ordered and should be delivered next week.
Mike arrived back with the new sink and has been fitting that, along with the gas oven. Of course, nothing was straightforward and he's had a few problems with the plumbing and it's best not to mention the waste disposal unit!
Mark and Sid have fitted some skirting board in the sun room, in the hall and some architrave around the cupboard under the stairs. Doors have been fitted to some of the kitchen units but one of them has a split in the wood so that will have to be changed too.
Fred has been overhauling some of the windows, they've clogged up with sand and dirt over the years and weren't that easy to open. Elbow grease and WD40 were used here and they are much better now.
