Grout and website hosting
I tell you it’s been a bit of struggle over the last couple of weeks, problems with the tiles, the grouting and finally the hosting of this good website have managed to take the usual shine off my good nature! To be honest I’m been glad to have all the time off to sort this out…. So firstly there was a false dawn with the tiles arriving – in mid April, I had thoughts of spending the easter break wandering lonely like a cloud (in my dressing gown) within the completed kitchen space, gracefully spending each day quaffing enormous volumes …Read the Rest
The tiles have arrived – woop, woop !
SO this afternoon the non-broken tiles have arrived – a cause for some celebration. (Well they are the colour of red wine !) ..and this means the boys are back tomorrow to start the final piece – it should be ours by the end of the week. A new project will beckon over Easter !!
Broken Tiles and Fans
Apologies for the lack of updates, but it’s been a bit hectic ! Good progress but a lack of tiles and a broken extractor fan have halted any real progress But since the last time the lights have been done and look good – here’s and artistic shot. Due to the lack of tiles we got bored and started to move things back into the kitchen including the radio and the Joesph Joseph stuff arrived…..more of in the next post
Granite and Taps
Friday this week saw the arrival of two major items – the Granite worktop and the kitchen tap. and the star of the show Very happy with the tap – as impressive as functional And to finish shiny Granite – tiles and final works to start next week – we should be normal by the weekend. Have fun.
Units and Sinks
The boys have been working well over the last few days Units are now placed in their final positions Plus we have sinks…… And an extractor fan…whats not to like !! More updates to follow.
Progress made
For once a daylight update – and the units are being placed into their correct positions The bad news from the installers on Friday was the floor is not level and from end to end there is a difference on 47m/m. This is unfortunate as I always fancied a snooker table…. The rest of the kitchen is ready for install on Monday So progress should be swift – more updates to follow.
Plastered !
The last couple of days and seen slow and steady progress. A few before and after photos to show. And behind the cooker…. The wall behind the fridge has has the treatment too ..and most importantly the kitchen units and all the other stuff have arrived. Tomorrow (Friday) should see the units start to come together – should be fun !
Coming soon – The Kitchen is finally being done……
So finally, nearly 2 years late the kitchen has been ordered and sometime in the next two months updates will start again on this website detailing the kitchen taking shape. As I type I understand the Pizza and takeaway vendors in Hertford are busy taking on staff to cope with our increased comsumpion during this time.
…and Finally
So you crazy bandwidth hungry lurkers – here is hopefully the final update to brick blog – Sad I know but somewhat inevitable. It’s frankly a little bit emotional, like an episode of Emmerdale….I might have to open another beer..or box of wine…. So, ok a final tour….. And inside – the bathrooms are nearly finished – the bath is fitted and I’ve tested it…fortunately for everyone no pictures exist.. The new en-suite bathroom is just as good. And now into the bedrooms…Charlie’s first and into Steph’s room…. And here’s a room that’s not been featured before – it is now because …Read the Rest
