All we want is a kitchen sink...

Somewhat annoyingly, we've got 2 and neither are in place.
So on friday we had the joiners in, hanging the worlds tackiest internal doors (more on that later) and the kitchen fitters made a good start:



I picked up a needle gun from our local tool-hire shop and made a start on the dining room mantel-piece. Its very satisfying, blasting the whatsit out of a piece of stone :-) Hopefully IO'll be finishing it today.



Yesterday (saturday, the electrician came and wired in the mains sockets, some of the lights and the underfloor heating - its very odd walking on a warm flor. But nice too.
And the kitchen fitters came back and got a fair-way on.





We spent the morning hunting out toilets and basins for the cloakroom and choosing nicer internal doors. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find semi-glazed 4-panel doors! It seems that if you want clear glass, you have to pay through the nose for oak or similar wood, but if you want a cheaper, pine, door, you have to have frosted glass with a pattern etched in, and the really cheap moulded doors come with frosted glass with a really nasty pattern. Yuck.
So we're not having 4-panel glazed doors after all. We've got solid (moulded) doors for the cloakroom and utility room, and these glazed doors for the kitchen, dining room and lounge (which needed replacing anyway)
