I started renovating both my living room and kitchen last week, both my kitchen and living room is a tip dust everywhere holes in the ceilings, wire hanging down , thought I could get it all done in two weeks just before the baby was due (9th Aug) as it happens the little nipper decided to come out on Friday I am well chuffed he weighed 5.14 lbs. I now have the task of getting every thing done in two weeks in the house. The misses and the boy will be staying at her mums whilst I will be staying at home. Before I started the project I thought I can do most things myself , like chase the walls for first fix electrical in the kitchen ( now I know why sparkies charge so much as its ****ing hard work) rip up the existing carpet in the living room, take off the existing wall tiles and floor tiles, strip out the kitchen , pipe work mods in the kitchen everything else like plastering , electrical, and kitchen fit will be done by others. I'm regretting ever starting this now, but it's too late to turn back now.
Here is my programme of works for the next two weeks :
