          Have to drill through to outside from the small front bedroom today, to run a cable for the outside lights.
          Forgot to do it when the floorboards were up so now I have to lift the floor again

                Have to replace the skirting board in the hallway as well
                Will have to loose fit it as I may have to adjust the height after I install the Parquet flooring.
                The front of the hall is being tiled. Parquet floor lookalike tiles so that the parquet flooring looks continuous.

                  Can't pick up the kitchen units til next Saturday, as I have to wait for my son in law's cousin to comed back from hol's. Worth waiting though as I will get the kitchen at cost price, which will save me nearly £2000

                    Wifey spent all day yesterday (8 hours) sanding down the staircase woodwork.
                    I was going to install all new, but she likes the old stuff.
                    It is all oak paneling that has been painted white???. she is repainting it white!!!
                    Go figure

                      We have decided to keep all of the original door furniture, the oval plate black iron rim locks and oval knobs will look nice once I have refurbished them.
                      Apparently they sell for about £150 each S/H

                      I have the keys for the locks as well
