Mortgage free and finally in a forever home

TallGirl

Thanks guys much appreciated and also hello bugslet lovely to see you again. Sounds fab re retirement and narrow boat tell us more. 

Busy with work today picked up my mats from the Skoda dealer £65 but will protect my car. Also got the outdoor light fitting plus my free veggie meals from the insider study I got picked for, they are not great but did me for dinner dg had to have something else. 

Kitchen is progressing but noticed a dent in the door. Tell me this is quite noticeable isn't it? Or is it just me. 

The kitchen currently looks like this 

Should be all in tomorrow I mean carcasses then hopefully next week work top as Wednesday is flooring and then plumber before fridge freezer and washing machine Friday next week. Electrician will also come in and we need to order the tambour for the corner. 

Cannot wait for it to be finished this is what it looked like before by the

Moneyfordreams

yes it is noticeable I suppose it depends on what you can live with. I didn't report a small scratch in my hall glazing last year as I liked the old fella fitting it. In fact I had forgotten about it.  Looking good though .

Thanks guys they will let us pick up a new door but might as well wait until all is unpacked as there are bound to be more that has a few imperfections. 

Kitchen still going in this morning and worktop is being fitted Thursday. Floor has to be down by Friday as fridge and washing machine is coming. Bit worried the carpenter will let us down but if he does it means a complete stop to everything. I need the plumber to fit the radiators and kitchen too Friday would be ideal. 

Bed is coming Tuesday so we can move not the master bedroom. Only slept in there a few nights as the bed we originally bought was just for the 2nd bedroom. Need to tidy up in there as all the kitchen crap is in there and no room for the bed. Got a game booked today and then the first comp tomorrow. Look forward to it but playing much later than everyone else with two ladies one I do not really like and one I do not think is miss popular. Oh well hopefully next match I'll get a better group. Need to do washing to at ex in-laws and also pick a heavy duty carpet mat for the front door plus confirm our hall carpet been so long I cannot remember what it looks like.

looks like nice weather today might finally get back in the pool not been for ages and ages. So glad it's the weekend work has been manic but all good getting to do far more interesting stuff which is fab. 

Want to share a photo of our outdoor shower love it so much (not actually showered in it but done washing up etc which is handy for at the moment.

I think you will always notice the mark.  I would.   I like the outdoor shower idea!.

My boat conveniently featured in a magazine when she was built 4 years ago.  I bought her last August.

I hope your game turns out to be more fun than you expect.

Dip in the hot tub, sounds so relaxing.

I dont live on her, lots of people do live on theirs.  She is just for trips out.

Morning Friday again so nice booked a couple of days off over the next couple of weeks but also got last week of Aug off so need a break. Decided not to go home to Denmark does not feel safe really miss my family so much but I can go later in the year. Wanted a week to chill here when work is all done. 

Re the work it’s getting there. Flooring in the kitchen is down and the worktops are on. Fridge and washing machine arrived today but cannot be plumbed in. Plumber might come and do the sink but more likely Monday. 

Wood floor is down bar the hall way which is being done today. Kitchen fitter back from holiday so coming over tomorrow. Painter dropping sample off Sunday really not sure what colour in kitchen. Any ideas lovely people I’ll add some photos.
