Openplan!


The upstairs yesterday took on an open plan appearance, as the bathroom walls came down......not entirely planned!!! But putting in stud walls is easy enough (and in fact they have been put up today!) and did mean we could move one wall slightly out, taking a couple of inches from the back bedroom, which should help vastly fitting the bath and pipes for the shower!! So, all very fortuitous in the end!
In the meantime, this was the view as you came up the stairs!!!
The builder had called in an additional plasterer today, as they had fallen behind as they'd not been there all week. On plasterer was having some personal problems, so George got another guy in, but kicked him off the job after a couple of hours as he wasn't happy with the quality of the work. George is very particular, especially when it's his reputation on the line, which is good for us mostly, just means things can take a bit more time!! Anyway, with 2 guys there, things have moved on quite quickly. May over-run from the estimate of finishing tomorrow, but only another day or so we reckon. Bathroom may be held up by gas man, and him needing to fit pipes before plastering!
The gas man has been a headache. Been promising to come since Monday, turned up this morning, fitted 2 pipes in the kitchen for the boiler and buggered off again!! Craig has been leaving him messages all day. Shame, as he is someone we've used here, and he's been very reliable. Not sure what is going on, but he's not telling us! Builder has someone he knows, so if Steve doesn't get his act together he'll be off the job!!
