Had a list of jobs to do today (before I go away for a few days). Got through all I wanted to and started on the decorating prep work.
Loft hatch was first job. Used ex 4 x 1 1/2" timber and put a 15mm rebate and draught proofing slot into it. After cutting to size and building up I used rubber draught seal (same as windows) so that the hatch is air tight. Has a secret latch to keep it closed.
Hung the kitchen door which is slightly twisted. Loose stop rebates so I have 3 options. Fix stops to twisted door, try to take twist out of door and tell the merchants to swap.
Just general snagging and odd jobs for the rest of the day such as fixing a downpipe etc etc
Tiling has come on in the bathroom. Just needs the suite fitting and grouting now. The kitchen has been started and is looking good.
Met Vin the painter and he can start either this week or next, depending on another job.
Gas meter was fitted Fri but apparently had a leak and he didn't have a spare on his van - long winded!
So if I cant get the floor and 2nd fix joinery finished next week when I'm back i'll go on the garden. May rotivate and seed the area to have turf. Seed being the cheaper option! The rest will want some landscaping sheet putting down and covering with about 5 tonne of gravel.
Fence painting is halfway now.
