Early Thursday morning we saw the first delivery van turn up .. and as the boxes started to pile through the front door - I started to feel a bit sick...what had I done.... all these boxes and it was up to us to construct, build and fit.
A few bits..
A few more..
Even more..
And just as the first van was finishing the unloading the second van came...
When both vans had gone D and I sat ourselves down with a cup of tea and stared at the boxes - which were in every room in the house! Ours friends arrived to see the delivery (and after much hearty laughter at the number of boxes) we made a start!!
D and C on the flooring and me on the cupboard building...... Much progress was made on the first afternoon and it was decided we had all earned a pint and something to eat at the local. This turned into a rather long evening and several pints but hay we were on holiday!!
Next morning turned into an afternoon start but again amazing progress was made and the kitchen floor was finished by the end of the second day. The knees did give out this afternoon with C requested something soft!!
Day three and an afternoon start again.....we haven't really got the hang of this full day thing but we really didn't care as things were going much better than planned. Today the underlay went down in the hallway and living room.
Flooring went down in the living room and hallway....
And I had more cupboards to build....
This evening we went for food and drinks at ours friends - they have a working kitchen. Food was excellent with C making Fajitas - ooooh I do love his fajitas.
Day four saw D and C finish the living room.
A small celebration at the end of a great few days work!
All the cabinets were completed.
Our final day today was spent moving stuff around so the electricians could do their work - a quick tidy up of tools and the journey home. I really feel that we have progressed loads this weekend - we have talked about this and planned (and saved) for so long - it's so great to finally see some progress.
