Numbed finger and strained thumb

One belongs to the husband, the other to me..

What caused it? The bloody kitchen tiles we removed last week.

No.. I never imagined it would be that hard to remove kitchen tiles when floor boards can just be yanked off (okay.. they are laminates.. but still...)

Hummmmmmmmm...

The lucky man has gone off to work and as I do not have classes today................

I'll be painting the kitchen and cutting underfloor heating boards to fit the floor.

The job itself it actually not that bad once you get started and going but after a whole week of full time building, it really isn't something you jump up for anymore..

Even poor Bronxie is miserable.. he's probably wondering what happened to his home and why mummy haven't had time to sit with him for hours just stroking his head.

On a brighter note.. we are half way there.. just some more painting, second coats, sanding, connecting the underfloor heating, flooring, tiling, assembling the kitchen..

I make it sound so easy.

The dad have been pretty impressed with what we've done and the amount of work we've taken on ourselves and stuck to.

We haven't really given in to much hiring. The electricals had to be done by an electrician, the rooflights we were scared of falling off the roof, the outside tap... hmm.. we met a very nice plumber who is very fatherly.

Everything else have been done by us.

We are now considering getting someone to do the flooring but that's mainly because we don't have the right equipment and it's too much hassle to rent it for a small floor surface.

So all in all, we are mighty proud :) Yeap, doing all these and learning them while we are young and able.

I know some people don't believe in it but we have learnt so much through this build it is all worth it.

Personally I don't understand how people who don't understand building work can hire someone else and just leave them to the job without trying to understand it beforehand or doing it themselves!

It is expensive and if they were to do a botched job you will never even know!

Anyway.. it is almost 9... so I'll have to start my day
