Few days on the tiles!

Even with a super duper tile cutter, and a super duper husband, the floor in the kitchen has take a while to lay, and we're nervous to rush it, so we'll probably leave grouting till Friday. This is frustrating, because we both really want to get on and fit the kitchen units, but if we want the place to look good, it takes time!

I did manage to crack on with the glossing upstairs, which also seems to have taken forever, but with each door side taking 30 mins, and it needing 4 coats (primer, undercoat and by looking at one side after just one coat of gloss, it will need 2....why do they call it 'Solo'????), that is 16 hours of work just painting the doors, without the skirting and window sills!

Craig has started doing the niceties of fitting the chrome electrical fittings (light switches and sockets) today, as some of them might need filling round and painting. We didn't want to keep the white plastic ones, we think the chrome ones look more stylish, and bought on-line, not too expensive either. I'll take some pics at the weekend and you can judge for yourself.

Craig had another call from an interested party yesterday, so we're hopeful that as soon as it is ready, someone will want it!!
