Arrived back today (from doctors - not been well) to find an impromptu meeting with the builders and their gaffer. Which then became an unscheduled meeting between David and I, and the gaffer.
We are all trying to work together to get as much as possible done in Ryan's room, while we are away. However in doing Ryan's room, there's a knock on effect on the living room and kitchen. It's impossible to do these separately.It is estimated that it will take 3 weeks to do this portion of work. (This is probably only about 1/3 of the internal works).
Upshot is that, with the bank holidays and weekends, there is only 8 'working days' while we are off. This is insufficient time to get as much of the internal work done as we had hoped. So the plan is to use the two week we are off plus a week (no we are not extending our holiday) of 'slumming it'. This means as soon as we get back, we will only have the use of upstairs. We might (hopefully) have limited use of the kitchen.
This means Ryan will have to relocate into Leighton's bedroom, he's not used to the lofty heights of upstairs.
The headache is most of the furniture from downstairs needs to be removed, however we can't stuff it all upstairs cos we need to be able to live up there. Hmm. A lot of work to do in the next 29 days I think. (David hasn't even got any clothes to take on holiday yet, he's been managing with a couple of hastily bought pairs of trousers because all his other ones don't fit his new slimmer self).
Right, panic over, deep breath, panic still there, deep breath, deep breath, panic over, well lets just deal with today shall we for now.
Dumper truck gone today, another delivery of bags (little pebbles?).
Found out if everything works to schedule the work might be done by the end of May, beginning of June.
