My builder has finished with these projects:

Rebuilding the kitchen cupboard (torn up when we put in the new boiler 2 years ago) :)

Constructing a real proper closet for the guest bedroom (also torn up for the same reason as above - when the immersion heater came out of there) :)

We have TWICE the number of built-in bookshelves in the living room now!  Yaye!  And not a moment too soon as my stuff from the US is due to arrive any day. :)

The front door & the kitchen door (goes out to the porch) no longer stick - they are hung properly now! :)

He still has to do a couple bits & bobs for us but that's most of what we contracted for the moment, until the weather improves and then - the biggie...  Repointing the entire house! :-X

And now Steve & I can start on some work that we CAN do - things like repainting rooms, etc. :)

I very much look forward to posting about the finished products of my builder - who is just now getting back to returning calls.  *sigh*

Good luck with that!  Fortunately, these have all been fairly small projects (no major overhaul of anything) & he's finished them in about a week.  We are so lucky to have found this particular guy!  He will definitely be doing more work for us in the future.

The pointing is going to cost a fair bit (and requires fine weather), so we have to get that done before we can think about anything major inside.

Being freshly showered, sweet smelling, and bundled in a soft fuzzy robe for a cozy evening....*long sigh of contentment*
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Only working a half day - but I get to spend the other half in the library working on a paper I put off to the last minute.

I agree on the cake issue, I had another piece of B-day cake but I can justify it because I went to body pump on my b-day.

We watched it too! Well...as much as we could stand since we had to go outside to see it and it was freezing! I want a summer lunar eclipse!
