For months now my housing corporation has been promising to rebuild my kitchen. So I moved everything into the hall, and then they told me they had discovered asbestos under the hall floor of one of the flats, so now they have to rip up the hall and kitchen floors before reinstalling the kitchen. So I had to move everything again, (oven, fridge et al) into the spare bedroom. And finally yesterday at 07.00 they came, because it is asbestos, (which btw is perfectly safe until they dig up the floor) I had to get out of the place until nine o'clock in the evening. Anyway they gave me 50 Euros to eat and drink all day, which was nice and I became homeless for a long day. When I got home the place looked a bit different, and this morning at seven o'clock somebody started drilling on the kitchen/my bedroom wall, they have a spare key. Anyway all this week they will be redoing everything and I am keeping out of the way in my bedroom. The good part is I get a new kitchen and toilet, and 600 Euros to replace the carpets. Don't tell anybody but I have bought some expensive carpet tiles for the lounge with the money and am going to move the less expensive carpet tiles from the lounge into the hall, and still have some money left over.

Well, relevant spots in your little boys' room are at least shining clean. Toci

You can get attached to something else as well, sometime this afternoon they took away the water bowl and pipe, it is nearly going home time so I got some water from the bathroom to see if it still flows away, luckily it does, could be a long night without a flushing toilet.

I'm sure it will be wonderful when it's all over, and it's great that you'll make a little money on the deal. I don't envy you the time while the work is being done, though.

Nobody yet, though there is a lot of banging upstairs. There are a dozen vans in the street, they have to do over a hundred flats, one company is removing the asbestos, they are doing two flats a day, six flats in each building and they just started on the last two in my building. Then comes the gas and water guy, (he was at my place yesterday) he is putting all new pipes in the wall and floor. The new toilet is a modern one so he had to remove the old water holder and install new water pipes. So far so good, I think the next firm will be a tiling company who will retile the kitchen and toilet, I was asked which color I wanted months ago. After that finally will come the installers with the new toilet and kitchen sink et al. Somewhere the electricians have to come, and I hope some cleaners because the place is covered in cement, but I a'int holding my breath on that, oh and they have removed the ventilation pipes so that will have to be done. I have a feeling it may be next week before I can pull my toilet chain again. And finally I will paint the kitchen walls while I am at it. All good fun and jolly good company. But it is free and it will make my flat very modern, Graham The bucket man.

That sure looks like major disruption. But then a bright new kitchen and redecorated loo. Mmmmm.

It is going to look great when finished Graham. Would you like me to pop over and do some quality control. Perhaps after the toilet is replaced.<g> I hope it doesn't take too long, and I hope you remembered to cover your PC. also the fan might need some attention from the vac. but then I am quite sure you have done the necessary. Awful how the dust gets everywhere.

That's all well and good, but toilets are kind-of necessary. Buckets may not suffice for all!
