Dysfunctional Planner

The joys of planning our small terrace house,travel and all that life throws at me

It’s all systems go with the house renovation

It’s begun.

It’s all systems go. The house renovations have become a reality. We had a local electrician give us a quote we were happy with. The movers have been booked so we empty the house and get a fresh start. The movers and packers are going to tackle it all. The loft, the bedrooms. We will have a kitchen bathroom, dining table and chairs, a sofa tv and blow up beds.

That’s about it.

We may have a basic empty Christmas house but it means when we put everything back it will hopefully go into its final place. There is still so much to organise. Hopefully I can show some photos of the potential of the house with the bare minimum it.

We have had quotes back from the crittall company and I still need to talk to the windows people. To get that installed so that we can get the bathroom done. The bathroom is too small to fit everything in but big enough to have a massive shower. So the plan is we create a beautiful green tiled box which is our shower, which means replacing the window with a 90cm width rather than a 130cm width. Below is my inspo it’s the wrong green and tile but I love that it’s a solid block of tile and colour. Just have to convince Gavin with will look incredible.

We both love and have agreed on light switches, which sounds insane but you have to consider these things. We need to order them before the electricians come in two weeks, so my evenings are filled with chasing quote, signing paper work and packing the house up.

We don’t really care about plug sockets as they won’t be seen. The lights we own are being rewired so I may need to get new cord for the lights we have.

Renovating is just constant lists and I did download Sheets app so I have an excel style sheet on my so I can keep a record of everything.

The more we clear, the more we think about jobs that need doing, boarding out the loft, a new loft ladder, getting a chimney sweep and installing a log burner. Switching off the gas, moving the boiler!

So much to do and so little time.

That was a bit of a brain splurge but it’s all systems go!

    Oh yes we can identify we moved out in Feb and renovated 5 rooms main house, we lived in Dave’s woodshop for 3 months with a crockpot toaster oven & microwave did have movers moved our fridge to woodshop so that helps. They had to refinish all our wood floors movers moved furniture to double car garage (that’s why when march hailstorm hit his truck was damaged it was outside. Everything is fine now nice fresh look just still waiting on big area rugs we ordered Feb now they say November we should have it. 3 new faucets left to replace. Did have access to bathroom big plus. It’s a headache but once it’s done and the cleaning you will love it. We love it. Will be thinking of you. Those prepared simple meals that you can just bake from the supermarket saved us.
