Small things and big things...

On the small things front, we now have a door on the ensuite (albeit with no architrave yet). Some of the block work in the rear hall has been removed as Geoff wasn't happy it was up to scratch and one of the doors on the kids' room cupboard is on.

On the bigger front the worktops were ordered yesterday for (hopefully) friday delivery. These include 2 holes for popup-power sockets from Evoline and 7 of those little metal bars for hot pans. We will unfortunately have one join on the hob run, but since that is a 3.5m run and the end which will be joined is a 90cm corner unit I suppose that is not such a surprise. The island will be a single piece though - 2.6m x 90cm, a BIG slab of 'nero absoluto' granite....

Gary the sparky has finally phoned in - he had tonsilitis so not only coudl he not come, but i expect he couldn't speak to call us either..... perhaps someone needs to show him SMS :-) He has sworn blind he and a friend will be here this weekend so we should come back to a very different lounge on monday - worktops, appliances, sockets and switches. We have decided to delay the light fittings and flooring until there is no heavy work going on, but the vast majority of the fixtures will be in place.
