so after the waiting, it is now the doing. and a lot of doing.
firstly the structural engineer was round to do the drawings (back of an envelope, a most interesting approach) and charge us a lot of cash for the privilege.
our builder was over and ripped out the kitchen and the bathroom - took three of us to get the beautiful baby blue bath out of the house, the weight of it was unbelievable. it is now serving cows well in a field near airdrie.
tiles have been ordered, deliveries have been taken.
work has started. stripper dogs are a god send (thanks eric).
research continues - whilst we've ordered the kitchen, the worktops remain an unknown quantity. corian is leading the way, though there is a worry over the stain control.
and taps. so many to choose from - and why the expense? i never thought i'd be having to debate the rinser sink / monoblock flow / swan neck / faucets and swivel spouts and even think i would care, but now it is all consuming.
i have concerns for my sanity.
its gonna be propah mint though lovely x
