What a weekend!!!!!

It all started on friday morning. At 6:45am, when the floor-tilers arrived.
Follwed at 8am when Freedom Electric arrived to move the meter and power supply (cutting the power to the house for the day. We also had the joiners, putting up the rest of the woodork for the plasterers, the roofer and the electrician, who ened up being here until 8:30pm! And he still didn't finish.

On saturday, John the sparky was back at 7:30am to nearly complete the wiring. He didn't quite finish as he had to go to the Newcastle Utd match. The plasters turned up at 8:30 and made a cracking start. It was definitely cracking as they pout a hole in a hot water pipe, soaking the underfloor heating insulating board. I think I've saved the rest of the floor though.



They also cut the phoneline (again!) because the wires were "in the way"



But they came back on sunday with a mate who could fix both, to avoid a costly visit from BT

I spent until 11:15pm stripping the rest of the wallpaper yesterday, so now the room looks something like this:



Hopefully the plasterers will finish today. If John turns up on time.....
