2009 Demolition Derby

This week... Mark started work on the floor joists in the study... I bought wall tiles & gas hot water system for the ensuite Mark dup holes to access the pipes for the plumber Fri - The plumber arrived early (hooray) and has completed all the ensuite plumbing. He just needs to come back & connect the water to the new gas heater system Sat - Nick come over & helped Mark put on the ridge cap on the roof. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so thought we'd better get it done!

This week in renovation land...Mark spent most of the week working on lots of fiddly bits and pieces. rendered the cracks in the hallway walls turned our bedroom door so it opens against the wall replaced a couple of floorboards in our bedroom and arranged for the tiler & the plumber to come and give us a quote Booked Simon (tiler) for the weekend of the 23rd (yes May)  The plumber is tentatively booked to come Fri 15/5 pending his quote.  I phoned electricians and grano's to try & tee up quotes Electrician, said he'd come over on Friday - surprise surprise, he never showed up 2 grano contractors: both need plans to do a quote. I posted a set to one & the other said he'd come over Saturday to pick up plans & discuss what we need. Surprise, surprise...(again) the grano bloke didn't turn up. Grrrr contractors.

This week we continued bricking up the internal walls in the study.
