Another disjointed week. Sacked the builder last Friday and he didn't take it well, kept sending nasty emails. Everyone who has seen his work agreed that at best it was a rushed job, at worst downright unprofessional. It made for a horrid weekend, worrying if he was going to return our spare key, but he did and we are now relieved that he's gone.
But that left the issue of finding someone else at short notice. It wouldn't have mattered so much had the plumber and decorator not been relying on it before they could continue. We found our knight on a white horse, in the guise of a chippy who we've used before and can fit us in between other jobs! He started today and his professionalism is a refreshing change. Luckily all the actual building work is done, the rest of the job is all woodwork.
In other news we sent the 4th and final skip back today, although still have lots to take to the tip. Rads should go in this week, along with plumbing for the utility room, outside tap and some of the downstairs shower room.
The kids have settled in back at school and we've gotten into a nice routine in the van. Would be nice to cook more than 1 pot meals though! Favourite so far is bacon and eggs, followed closely by pasta with pesto. Picked up curtain poles for 3 rooms at the weekend, all in the sale plus I had a 20% off voucher too! Its coming together, slowly but surely....
