Pain In The Swiss

So. Four days later and our fabulous new house still looks the same. It's really nice an' all, but I really really want to get a move on and start actually doing things. I spent most of today hanging around in it, waiting for various tradesmen to arrive, completely bored out of my tits. Good news is that NTL will be installing Digital TV and 2 meg broadband on Monday, so we'll be all wired up before we move in.

This Thursday, me and my Dad are going to knock down a wall that's in a really stupid place. The kitchen as it stands is about 3 feet wide (that's just less than a metre for all you metricians out there), and getting rid of this wall will make it over 8 feet wide, or 'wide enough' as I call it. We have the electrician booked to take care of all the electrics in the wall too, so that's not a problem. This Sunday, a familiar team of movers will be taking all our stuff out of 'storage' (aka my big sister's garage) and moving it to the house. Should be fun!

Wooden floors will be going down (fingers crossed) towards the end of next week, carpets around the same time, and me and my Dad (the ex-master tiler) will be doing all the tiling. We've picked black marble for the main bathroom, and terracotta quarry tiles for the kitchen. The ensuite and utility room tiles are still kinda undecided, but will probably be plain and cheap as we can find, while still being 'nice', and without being 'crap'. I have a mate lined up to patch and plaster the large holes that will be left after we knock the aforementioned wall to oblivion, so we're all cool there.

So! We're getting there. I'm getting really, really, really impatient now, but seeing as the short-term lease on our current flat runs out in 2 weeks, I really don't have long to wait. Roll on the 4th of July is all I can say!
