No proper progress on the electricity supply and United Utilities decided to let us down on the water supply as well. We have learnt through experience and immediately emailed their Chief Executive. Our water was connected the next morning. Post blog note - it's worth complaining to CEO's. North West Electricity have just phoned to say that we will be connected on 17th April - Party Time!
The kitchen is progressing but we are making Simon, the joiner, jump from job to job so he doesn't quite know what he will be doing next, Hanging doors, furniture to the loft access, oak trimmings to the stair well and finish the kitchen. Next will be laying the dining room floor.
Both bathrooms are now complete.
We have raided Dunhelm again and bought all of their curtains, bedspreads, towels and etc. We have also de-shelved Listers and there is now a world shortage of bathroom accessories. It has been too cold to fit out any of these but, now we are basking in balmy warmth, we will be able to progress.
Regardless of the outcome of the electricity supply we won't make our objective of being in by Easter. Our electrician has gone off sick and our next delivery of new furniture won't be made until next Wednesday. This would include our mattress so we will have to be patient. We couldn't order the wood flooring until we had some heat and cannot lay the carpets until the floor was down. However, the end is in sight and we have arranged for the next carpet laying event and delivery of our own furniture for next week.
We have had yet another wall collapse thanks to a stubborn tree stump but, as we cannot find anybody interested in rebuilding it, Andrew is going to have a go. This could take some time.
