House Update

I again haven't posted anything for a few days.

It seams like we have managed to get a few things done in the last couple of days, as always not everything goes to plan!!

Anyway I now have all network and power cables ran in the house (I hope). Most are fixed back, although a couple that still need the browning around the sockets/back plates. My dad has fitted all my internal doors. He had some hassle yesterday with the handles I bought. They were badly designed and couldn't be screwed in correctly, so swapped them today.

My brother-in-law was also up the house todsay with my dad while I was at work. He did some tiling in my kitchen where some tiles were missing and patched a few other parts up. He also planed some cupboard doors and put some filler in on one of my walls where it has some horrible would panelling. They also have my toilet more or less fitted in as well. The bathroom was put on hold while we sorted all the wiring.

The new UPVC doors turned up today, so Nigel and me are gonna fit them (or at least the kitchen) tomorrow. It was gonna cost £150 per door to fit, not paying that bugger. The house is gradually starting to look a lot better. We are getting the major jobs done.

Tomorrow my dad is going to get a small radiator for my bathroom and fit that, then hopefully finish the toilet and basin. Then we can sort the flooring, after that Nigel is going to do the tiling in the bathroom.

I feel like a spare part most of the time and seam to stand doing nothing which I don't like. I prefer to be doing something but my dad seams to want me to be his labourer even though he doesn't need any help with most things. I could be on doing something else. Don't really want to complain though as he is working all the hours of the day for me.
