Today was always going to be a tough day. It started at 7.00 with a number of small tasks. I cut and replaced a roof tile, before moving on to the exciting task of carrying wardrobe components up x flights of stairs. What a joyous 3 hours.
The plasters appeared again, and appeared to undo previously completed work.
The electricians doodled about, and appear to just turn up to kill time. The tile layer returned to measure his work so as to calculate his bill. We got him to fix a couple of things.
The painters started on the exterior to the house. They started by washing the surface by hand, and checking the integrity of some of the old facade. Reggie and myself both agree that these painters really love their job.
After lunch we had an appointment with the cabinet maker to discuss the glass types for three doors.
On return to the house the parquet layer was just finishing. He has done a very nice job.
So as to not feel left out we started to assemble the wardrobes. The first being in the guest bedroom. We measured and measured again to ensure that we could get a 3m wide set against the back wall. What we did not take into account was that the house was built in 1678 and the room is by no means square.
The bottom line is that the wardrobe fits to perfection. You cannot get a fag paper down the side of it.
Once on a role our attention turned to the office cupboards. They are now assembled apart from the doors.
Tomorrow will see us assembling the wardrobe in Raphaels' room. Oh the joys. We are still planning to have our first house sleep on Saturday.
