Stage 1

Work in progress but it’s been a struggle. Not here, which has not proceeded at the pace expected owing to problems upstairs. It’s a long story, the white vanity unit under the sink in the bathroom of white items had gone cream in the light. A strange thing in itself as the room faces north and has no direct sunlight.

A battle ensued to get the shop to meet their 5 year guarantee and provide a new unit. We’ve had it a while now and wanted to get someone in to fit it.

Move back to the kitchen now, the company we chose to fit worktops also fit bathrooms so we asked them to replace the vanity unit. And what a palaver. Took them most of the day, a visit by a carpet cleaner and much head scratching before the thing was in. Hence the delay in finishing off the kitchen. They’re back in the morning.

Every cloud has a silver lining as having no cooker gave us an excuse for a fish and chip supper. The first this year and to make Doreen happy she had them too and they came from her preferred shop and not mine.
