We are having a baby! I am 17 weeks pregnant and so we decided that we really did need to finish the house off before the little one arrived. I've had an endowment policy for 10 years that hasn't made any money so I decided to take all the money out. We have been busy researching as usual, for the best kitchen and appliances for the best price. Well Rob has, I've been busy researching for the best baby items at the best price!
We started taking the plaster off the chimney breast hoping that there would be lovely 200 year old bricks behind it, there aren't! In fact they couldn't be worse and there's no wonder that it has 3" of plaster on it in some parts. The soot covers the kitchen quite nicely!We've given up with that idea now and will tile it all!
Rob has made a lighting oblong feature on the ceiling, well it wouldn't really be our kitchen without a million lights, some PIR and some on switches, some big and some little!
The water and gas pipes have been boarded up and Rob's Dad has been filling all the gaps today ready to sand tomorrow.
The kitchen has arrived from Wren and we now have all the boxes in the living room and hallway. The picture shows some of the cabinets, but definitely not all of them.
We have also ordered an American fridge freezer, range cooker and dishwasher from Jual Domestics which should be with us soon.
We are also having a new double glazed window and door.
A moses basket arrived today too!
It's all very exciting, apart from living in a complete pig sty for probably the next 2 weeks! At least that means there's no point in hoovering or dusting for the next few weeks either, as the dust and sawdust seems to be making its way around the whole house! I think the cats help with that though!
