are we at the 4th day already?

in case you are wondering thats monday.
and why am I showing you photos you have seen before?
Aha - no, look closely you will see that these photos are the

'after the plasterer has been' shots!

third day

you have had to wait for this update as Mr.B and me have been away for our dirty weekend, whoops sorry I mean our wedding anniversary celebration (a whole year!)

The day we went away was an interesting one, I was very glad I spent the day popping from appointment to appointment (waxing, dying, cutting and general primping!) as the mad polish men were smashing my floor up! I did have a tiled floor..........................................................

Day two

Well that was traumatic! the noise, the dust, the rain. Well OK I can't blame the kitchen guys for the rain but it did mean I was stuck indoors most the day with the dust and the noise!

Now we have sockets, lots of lovely sockets. Sockets that say things like COOKER, DISHWASHER, FRIDGE, FREEZER.............................. and we have a light switch by the new door!
the conduit should be behind the tiles (O boy I do hope so, I hate conduit!)
The old kitchen just had normal raised sockets on the wall which all the white goods had to plug into - not the best idea if you don't want things switched off by mistake!

at the end of day 1?

I am left impressed at how, clean and tidy, efficient and polite my Polish workmen are!

I have a temporary sink, a plumbed in washing machine and a cooker that works



But look at the amazing wallpaper they have uncovered, there are two there, the blue pattern is over the 'beige' one which has the vases and plant hangers on. this house was built in the early 60's so I would say the plants are circa 1963 and the blue must be the 70's!

I forgot to add, when Mr.B sealed up the old door with framework and plaster board we tucked a little note in there saying the date, who we are, our ages and what we were doing to the kitchen!

and so there we are

the various corners of our kitchen before the grand clear out - which took place on sunday, whilst I was full of man flu I should add!

the picture top right is the blocked up doorway and the picture bottom left is the new door opening, no door yet though!

Today

Chaos arrived in my house in the shape of the kitchen fitters!

No that isn't a kitchen fitter, it is Mr.B creating me a new door from the kitchen into the living/dining room

and here he is getting ready to block up the old one

Things I have found

up my 3 year olds nose

1. half a slice of bread (yes it is possible)
2. a purple bead (she chose a pretty colour)
3. a lump of blue tac big enough to hang a life size picture of herself!

and all in the space of 12 months. will she learn? probably not
