Had a wonderful day in Bristol with two kitchen design appointments. Wonderful how they show it all in 3D on a screen. The kitchen that I designed and had in my head, is now seeming a reality. My ball park costing seems to be pretty much on the nail. Make final decision over next couple of days and then will probably put deposit down on Wren Kitchen in a couple of days - to be done in May or June. Can be excited now - will get more and more worried about all the work as it gets closer.
Then treated my daughter and myself to a yummy carvery lunch and very calorie heavy gateaux after. We have brough back home half of those cakes in a container!!!!
Still lots of tweaks on kitchen, and have not had costings for electrical and plumbing work. But find I can afford the top level worktop.
I am pleased that I have the garage on the ground floor as they said what they prefer to do is to deliver the new kitchen units in advance ready to be fitted as soon as the old kitchen is removed. Delivery into the garage would make life a loit easier than directly into the flat.
Weather down here has been miserable this morning, drying up now, a little windy, but nothing really bad. My sympathy with all of you up North.
kissngate, running an extension for aerial is quite easy. You need a lot of it to go round the skirting, or wherever. But these leads are not expensive to purchase. One will probably need a female plug and the other end a male one. When I took mine around the fireplace, I did it close to the floor (Amtico oak parquet) and purchased from amazon, lengths of oak coloured trunking to cover this wire.
In the flat I have a very long extension lead running from the aerial in the Living room around two walls, out into the hallway, and through into my bedroom for the tv in there. As I, again, have oak colour flooring, I have used the same sort of trunking here.
Did you give written permission for them to leave things behind in the loft? I thought these days the people leaving the property had to clear it all out, or else they could be charged for having it all taken away by the purchasers. Do not any sort of verbal agreement would be enough, so it might be worthwhile, getting an estimate from a rubbish clearance firm and going to your own Solicitors to see if you could claim this back from the sellers.
