And I am furiously washing up, hoping to get it into a decent state for photos. Couldn't plumb the dishwasher in....will take one tomorrow for you as fridge freezer finally came yesterday.

Electrician comes on Thursday to rewire so you may get to see pictures of raggles! :)

PS Loved what you did with your room.

Re: The Renovation thread
 

Thanks! - But what's "raggles"?

Re: The Renovation thread
 

I'm guessing electrician bum crack. :D

Re: The Renovation thread
 

I nearly put that then decided raggles was more seemly!

Raggles are the holes in the walls made to run the electical wiring. There is only one single socket per room so I'm adding extra sockets everywhere.

I must have bee in denial when I bought this place as I never noticed - in fact, I didn't look at the house at all, just the view which I love. :)

Well, given up getting perfection - that will have to wait until late Friday night as MIL is coming on Saturday. :)

Re: The Renovation thread
 

We call it "plumbers butt" here!




Yipeee - about time ;) Looking good, Yonk! But where are the 'raggles' you promised me? ;)

Re: The Renovation thread
 

Tomorrow.....this is all taking far too much time.

Re: The Renovation thread
 

If anyone is contemplating getting their house rewired, don't do it. Or if you have to, leave the country whilst the boyos rip up all your carpets, move every bit of furniture to different rooms, bash your floorboards, add new bits of trunking, destroy various things like telephone points & door frames & bash the furniture....all the time saying.....

... "So why are you getting this done?" & "Doesn't all this banging, drilling, noise and mess stress you out? It would me."......no pictures, can't find camera and need to find the beds as a priority!

Plus the new fridge freezer has to go back....

Anyway, none of this is life & death so I'll be fine by the time my MIL rocks up tomorrow. She won't stay - she vacuums and dusts her house every day so she won't like my place at the moment.

Re: The Renovation thread
 

Ahem! If I don't get a fix soon, I'll have to post ugly pics of very ugly rooms......;)

Re: The Renovation thread
 

Ooooo, go on....

I've put my camera up safe somewhere and can't find it.

I particularly want to take a piccy of my living room, as it now has a "gosh, you don't have kids, do you?" type carpet plus I have managed to unpack my free-standing punchbag at last - been packed since March so now I have a target, in lieu of absent bloke.

Rest of house is a disaster, I stick with my comments about rewiring being the worst. Plasterer coming at the w/e! :)

Re: The Renovation thread
 

Ohhh- I got all excited (sad, eh) when I saw you'd replied! I thought I was gonna see an update :( Now I'm gonna get a :beer: ) ;)

Re: The Renovation thread
 

No, I promised and I will, I'm just a bit lax with time sometimes.....and I really can't find my camera. Cue two weeks of "d'you think the builders took it?"....it's here somewhere....

Re: The Renovation thread
 

...pulled back from the brink.....

Re: The Renovation thread
 

The number of times I've pulled out when on the brink.....................

Re: The Renovation thread
 

So has Yonk byt the looks of things - she promised me a pic :( As I'm not making progress I will have to make do with renovating vicariously
