there after I cleaned the basin and loo, (got fed up before getting to the bath itself and I've been cleaning up vigorously after each day's work), and we put a few bits in there to use. We're still showering at mum's though. Can't get your hair clean properly and I don't feel I want to bath in a building site!No work being done today or tomorrow as it's the weekend and even the Council are not so keen to get the work completed that they have their team working weekends! They're pleased enough that each flat is supposed to be 'in progress' for 5 weeks, but they are actually completing in only 3. Good news for us tenants. At least it's all free of charge for us, we can get a re-decoration grant for the work we have to do ourselves later too, but we don't have to do any of this heavy work ourselves. We'll see how rotten the place looks post re-wire on Monday...... They're not sinking any of the wires into the walls (except the kitchen) and so it's going to look RUBBISH! We're thinking of doing that ourselves later on as we want our place to look nice, right?
This must be discouraging!... Hold on, Elisabeth!

Hiya
ReplyDeleteEmma here, had a look at the blog as suggested. Wow, wallpaper stripping eh? Just a bit...
No wonder you are staying in the flat, you would end up with no bed the way those guys are going.

With all that demoing, you'd think they could sink the wiring! Well, it's going to be better soon!! Can't wait to see more progress. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, a lot of work being done, you'll need a holiday when they ahve finished. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress pics and the finished result.
ReplyDeleteHome redos can be fun! Saw your blog last week and wanted to say that my sis and her DH are flying over today from Canada to visit their eldest son who is living and working in your area. He is a chef at Truffles. Maria S.
