I say this finish line, because it will be one of several, and approaches, because we're quite not there yet...
Can you spot our new, connected up radiator? Ahhhhh. Warmth.
The fitters are back on Monday to move the dishwasher and fridge freezer through before they start ripping out the old kitchen.
Presumably they will add the plinths? And the hob is connected, but there is no power to it yet. We need a new consumer unit - what I still think of as a fuse box - with an extra switch for it. So I nay have to be cooking with microwave, slow cooker and air fryer for a bit. Doable. Stir fries might be off the menu.
Our task this weekend is to try and fit a quarter into a pint pot. I've been making plans to try and workout what will go where;
but I have no certainly that they will work until we start moving everything.
It's so good to have our house back. The fitters are lovely, but they keep up a continuous stream of cheerful chatter between themselves. How do they do it? They work together every day, and still they haven't run out of conversation!
At one point the three of them, kitchen team and the plumber, were all happily busy and chatting together. It's a good background sound though, like the hubbub in a coffee shop, with occasional sudden drilling and tapping noises instead of the barristers working the coffee machines.
On Monday they'll start taking down the old kitchen units, building a partition and installing the loo and shower. Hammer hammer hammering.....
I'm feeling very tired; I'm all for a simple bowl of porridge for supper and an early night!
