Work Day 9: Hop, Skip 'n' a Jump

We finally managed to get a skip, hoorah!  Since we got the keys to the house back in November, we have never seen a space outside our house!! (Not a good sign for us parking, I know) So we have not been able to secure a space for a skip, being on a main road doesn't help either.  But we have now managed to grab a space and plonk a skip there, so i'm sure that it won't take long to fill up with all the rubbish they've been clearing out over the last few weeks!

The house is a bit upside down at the moment e.g. the ceilings are on the floor...

Some of the ceilings were quite badly cracked and needed to be replaced so this is happening right now.

We drew out a design for the kitchen last night to show the kitchen supplier, to make sure what we want is available and suitable for our little kitchen.  Some thought needed to go into where to put certain appliances as it is a very small space and we need to make sure we can access things and have space to move about at the same time!  It is cool to be doing this from scratch but at the same time we don't really know what we are doing, so hopefully the supplier and our builders will give us an idea of if we are on the right track!  Now the small window in the utility is blocked up and the appropriate walls have been removed (or built), the structure is there for us to play around with the space.

The Bathroom walls have been plastered so they are smooth and straight!

Jamie left a little msg to the builders in the bathroom...

Everything is progressing nice and messily! We will be back up there at the end of the week to nosy round more changes!  Have started buying little bits and bobs for the house now, and am finding all the cheapo shops coming to my aid...bargain of the day : Toast Rack £1.00! lol
