[quote Callmejudith]@LivingInABuildingSite it definitely goes in waves - a total emotional rollercoaster.
We have the kitchen installers here today (YEY!). The plumber put the pipes in the wrong place but he has suggested swapping around the sink and dishwasher which is actually what I wanted in the showroom so I'm happy with that. I'm still in love with the fridge. Tonight I'm going to move our trestle table downstairs so we can start using the space a bit.
Tiler hasn't turned up and no answer on the phone. Cross because he promised me 8am this morning. I have a feeling he's still asleep. There's only a few more tiles to go down and then the grouting but we can't install the utility room unit until he is done and we also can't put in the WC and sink and having the open waste pipe in the WC is just gross!!
I am also not talking to DH (again). I always knew he was a lazy sod but this build has shown me just how bad it is.[/quote]
Sounds like some progress is being made. Yay to the kitchen, that's exciting.
My DH is the same. The lazy thinking gets to me the most. I keep trying to talk to him about kitchen designs, and he just keeps saying that we have already discussed it and we know what we are doing. We don't. We have said we want handleless and modern. That's it. I'm dreading it when the builders actually start.
Starting to really get concerned about living in the build. I'm looking at all alternate options if we can't stay for some parts. We have a cat so rentals are pretty much a no go, as are hotels, air bnb etc. No family or friends nearby. Huge garden but no access to put a caravan in at the back. At the front, because we are in a cul-de-sac, our driveway narrows towards the front so not much room for one there either given the space needed for skips, materials etc. Argh!
