The current project for the house is gutting the kitchen ready for the new one. We're half way through taking the tiles off the walls then we can get rid of the larder. Then we need an electrician and a plumber followed by a plasterer before we can think of putting the new kitchen in. The aim is to try and keep the kitchen useable for as long as possible since we both love our food which means trying to keep the mess to a minimum. The wet weather would have made the job even messier today (at least that's my excuse) so it's been a lazy day from the start. Other things have been happening though, the new windows and doors were finished on Friday. The windows have all been kept in the same style as the original ones, apart from one which is sort of bugging me, but to have kept it the same it looks like we would have had to loose the opening. If we hadn't had to have an opening large enough to escape through if there was a fire there wouldn't have been a problem but regulations now state... bla bla bla. At least we can open the door onto the patio now and the new front door is back to the original 1930s style that is should be. This week it's the turn of the fireplaces.
We've also had the oldest grandkid here for the weekend and as lovely as she is, she can be a little brat at times. The biggest problem is that she won't go to bed so as it gets later on in the evening and the wife and I simply want to curl up on the sofa together, she gets more and more demanding. At least with grandkids you can send them home when you've had enough!
