Hello everyone well I had hoped to be moved in by now but it is not at all going to plan! (not beyond shocked!) Well with the awful weather we have been having some of our pipes in the basement froze over because the builders could not fill them all in with insulation due to the snow. (There is a degree of irony there I feel) So that took at least a day to get fixed luckily the main problem was that they had to cut a hole in the bathroom wall to get at the pipes and therefore made a right mess. However we insulated today and should have all the jobs in the bathroom done by the end of tomorro. The electrician is comming tomorro to put up the three light fittings so that is one less job to do! So all that is left is to touch up the paint in the bathroom and put up a small shelf!. The carpet man who has been giving me run around all week should also be comming tomorro Wish me luck!

Finally nearly finished the decorating etc on the new flat (we have built proper living accomodation in the basement of the hotel!) However we did have a day of it yesterday as some of the pipes froze due to the super fun weather we have been having lately. Therefore we couldn't get any water in or out of the basement. There is a degree of irony in that if it hadn't snowed the builders would have insulated the pipes but havn't been by because of the snow! Oh well tomorro is another day.

Just another tip what decorators charge may seem extortianate and you may think to yourself I can do that and save the money. That may be but you loose the money in the time the room is out of commission. Also it will also pay dividends in the long run if you try and decorate you rooms in the same colours as it is so much easier to say have two colours in rather than 12 for touch ups. We also try to paint the lower part of the room in a darker colour such as red or brown as it doesn't show the damage from cases that are repeatedly banged into your walls. The upper parts a lighter colour so as not to overwhelme the room. The choice is yours.
