Tell me I'm almost at the end?

Complete kitchen refit. Down to replastering, digging up old floor and reconcreting and skimming. New ceiling and new lights. The builders have been super fast but I'm about to cry unless someone can tell me it's almost over. My house!! The mess, the filth, washing up in the bath, nowhere without a box or flooring stacked up.

All items - I mean every last thing- is here and the fitters are coming 8am tomorrow. Tell me please I'll be putting things away in my nice new cupboards by teatime?

So my short question- how long from kicking off with fitting units to bye bye builders forever?

It took us about 4 weeks of mess. Most was prep - removing old kitchen, re-plastering, electrics and floor. New kitchen took a few days to install once everything was in place. So you must be nearing the end! Although we used Wickes and the quality was shocking. Have only just fixed all the snagging issues - almost a year later...

Fitting units and appliances, tiling, painting, etc is going to take until at least Wednesday, surely?
