Well, it's Saturday, so it must be project house day for us both. It's ironic that Craig has been quite busy with some good orders for his pictures in the last couple of weeks, so this has meant him needing to take time out from the house to fulfill them. Good for the business though, so can't complain.
The Electrician returned yesterday and sorted out the consumer unit, which was just wiggling the fuses, as they obviously have some crap in them...technical stuff!!! Need to give them a good vacuum to stop it happening again, but good to know it was an easy problem to fix. Also good to know that our house is going to be used as an inspection site for his work by his professional body, so this will make sure he is satisfied he's done the best work he can!! E'on also came and certified the work to the external supply, so all good there too.
Anyway, last night we treated ourselves to a night out..................Ikea!!! Wanted shelves for the lounge, blinds for the windows and lampshades. Realised on route we hadn't measure the archway in the lounge where Craig wanted the shelves for, or the living room window which we wanted to get blinds for, so not a good start!! We did manage to buy some lampshades, and a blind for the kitchen and bathroom. Didn't have any we liked for the lounge or bedrooms, and are now contemplating curtains. Not sure.
So, today Craig finished fitting the skirting in the lounge which meant me following him round with a tub of filler to fill the screw holes. Tomorrow I will sand them all down, then we can hoover the floor and generally clean up......I'll take some pics then!
We fitted the lampshades upstairs, but the smaller ones we'd bought for the hallway are for table lamps and so will have to go back.....another great buy by us!!!
Thankfully, we've still got interest in the house. A lady returned the other day having visited previously, looking for a house for her son and daughter. She likes the colours and style, and has even talked about paying cash as her husband thinks the interest rates don't make mortgages an option at present......sure we all feel the same!!!!! She's given Craig her number to call her once the decking is down and the inside finished, and she'll come back (possibly with Son!!)
