sorry just thought i should start my own diary. As some of you know i recently moved into this house on the 14th of oct, and its been one thing after another trying to decorate ect.
Im doing this thread just so i can look back when everything is finnished as i know how stressfull the next few months are going to be a head of me, and laugh at it all and think what a silly cow i was for getting so worked and stressed up about :lol:

Ok we have almost finnished the livingroom just need to get carpets down, Oh has started the hallway but hes stripping all the years of old paint off back to teh origonal wood and going to be painting it mahogany.

Come the 8th of january we will be having the kitchen and bathroom ripped out so alot of mess as they are knocking the pantry down in the kitchen to make more room for cupboards :D

not sure whats happening with bumps and beyond its worked for me all day when i have signed in i can see everyones tickers ect :?
 
kitchen units are fitted, bathroom is now fitted

problems :twisted:

the main water pipe came lose and started leaking water, not very much thank god, all it needed was a new washer fitted :lol:

one of the kitchen units have been dropped and slightly bashed at the side so it will either get a new panel or a new cupboard :roll:

the put the extractor fan in for the cooker but didnt put a plug on it :roll: the electrician went away home back to glasgow and his boss rang him at 4pm and told him to get his arse back out and get the cooker connected :lol:

i did say that it wasnt a problem if the cooker got fittet tomoz but his boss insisted he got back out now :oops:

so its now 5.22pm and i now have 2 electricians in trying to connect the cooker good job they are nice though :lol:

will take some more pics when i have cleaned the remaining dust up :D
