The end of the week (Friday) was a 'mixed bag' stress-wise!!! Having expected the builders to be here bright and early, with windows, we had had an early night, had got up at 7.00 a.m. and done our early morning routines - breakfast - etc. We had put the car out across the driveway to save space for the builder's van and so on.
However all this was in vain as by 10.00 a.m. there was no sign of any workmen and we went dog walking (later than usual) - keeping an eye out for the lads' van in the street. Nothing!!!
At lunchtime we rang up and - 0h no! - the windows had not arrived at the builder's place (although should have arrived the day before - Thursday). Brian was so concerned for us and promised to sort it out.
Anyway, all was not lost, because as promised earlier in the week, Brian and co arrived after lunch and continued plastering the front lounge - the ceiling - which turned out terrificly well.
[PICS Taken - see shortly]
Later that day, Brian went off in pursuit of the windows - and returned late p.m. to say they HAD now arrived annd that he woulld be returning on Monday and Tuesday to fit them and finish the walls.
ICING After tea the decorator - Stephen - rang to say that he and Graeme would now be available to decorate a room sooner than expected as they had rearranged some other work! Hopefully that means the back bedroom will start to be painted next Thursday (13th) and then we will have one of the rooms totally finished (except for carpets) Curtains can go up. Carpets will wait until that room is used to put a few things whilst the front bedroom has a bit of repair only and some coats of paint.
So as stated - mixed feelings; some good news and some progress - quite a good end to the week and lots to look forward to in the coming weeks.
Saturday and Sunday we can rest and get our strenth up accordingly ... ...
