Stage 2 begins – electricity and plumbing


Just as things seemed to be crawling along, Concenzo gave me the go ahead to invite the electrician and plumber. They arrived together, which led to an exhausting 2 hours of arguing over exactly where we want each light and radiator. A real case of “too many cooks!”

All these questions have made it more urgent for me to decide what kind of look I want – which will impact the bathroom fittings and the light position. I don’t want to be rushed into the wrong decision because the plumber needs to know now for example! So we’re off to Ikea again on Sunday, this time to actually buy things! I’ve got a list of lights I want to try out to see what the different effects are like, as well as some other bits and bobs.

The house now looks like a patient ready for surgery – all marked out in red paint and ready to be cut into. The plumber isn’t able to start until a week on Monday, and the electrician comes after, so I guess it’ll be late September when they’re finished. Then Concenzo and the boys get to fill in and clean up after them.
