Self Build Diary - Day 11

Today I had a major breakthrough!! After a record breaking 67 calls I have finally got through and got an answer from our good friends at the electricity board. They have brought the dates forward to the 10th and 11th for electricity install!

At this point I decided that I should not get involved in anything more to do with the House today as this was surely the pinnacle of the day, nothing could improve the levels of success I had achieved at this point.

But alas I needed to get things done so we cracked on....

Mrs G has spent a lot of time looking at kitchens, talking to kitchen people, dreaming of kitchens and planning kitchens. It would seem that a lot of that time has been wasted! Not because of the hard work and effort that she has done but due to lack of listening that "kitchen experts" do! Our kitchen is about 6m x 3.8m and "kitchen designers" just want to fill it high and low with units!!! Nobody in their right mind would be able to fill this cupboard space with things! We would be able to rent out storage space to our neighbours if we had that many cupboards!

Beware of the expert, especially if the do not look like they have ever cooked a meal for themselves!

We have finally been listened to and on an email full of cad drawings mrs Gs dream kitchen arrived to her joy!


Thank you to magnet for listening and being suprisingly competitive!

Work to do still on it but it is on the right track.

Last day at work tomorrow, then its time to down tools and enjoy some festive cheer!
