Renovation Project - I don't like original floors any more!

Renovation Project - I don't like original floors any more!

The snow has almost gone and it is sunny, the weather is crazy here, I am hanging out washing and can still see the last bits of snow???????

We have the new pipes and John spends the day connecting them, this is much easier now that he does not have to have connections near to the electrics.

The copper pipes now go along the length of the room and connect at the far end of the kitchen.

The shower is now connected to the water pipes and next to go in is the waste for the shower, there is a bit of a problem with this (I think I have lost count of how many times I use that sentence, it may just be easier to assume there is a problem with every aspect of the renovation, as this is how it sometimes feels, but it does give John the opportunity to test his brain power in order to overcome them) anyway I digress, the problem this time is that there is not enough fall on the waste pipe from the shower.

This is resolved by making the hole through the kitchen wall even bigger, you do not need a big a fall all that is required is approx one inch for every metre (yes we are not fully metric yet, but we are getting there)

Once everything is in place we will not connect the shower waste as there is a lot more work to do first.

I have spent the day, when not helping John, on the kitchen floor, this is one of those jobs that needs completing but does not have a time frame. This is really useful as it means if John does not need me I can just do a section of floor. There are a number of these jobs in a project like this, although they all seem to have me on my hands and knees with a scraper and wire wool scrubbing floors, I start to wonder whether we should bother trying to keep the original floors or just order some new coverings from Best 4 Flooring but no that is lazy, I have loads of time to do this job, we don’t have loads of money, I just don’t like doing it anymore!
