The week didn’t get off to the best of starts as we found out that the kitchen floor tiles that the client had ordered were still on a slow boat from China, quite literally, and wouldn’t be in the country until the end of the month!  Not quite what we wanted when we are supposed to be laying the tiles next week prior to the kitchen being fitted the week after.  The tile merchant did his best to find some of the tiles but to no joy.  So in the end our client chose some similar looking tiles which could be ordered in for the end of the week.  It just goes to show that with even the best forward planning, you always get a spanner in the works.

The first part of the week we spent prepping the walls, ceilings, coving, skirting, architrave and door linings ready for painting. This involved caulking and filling the wood work and white washing the walls ready for the two coats of top coat paint.  We then spent Thursday and Friday putting the two top coats on and by the time we finished the week all the decorating we needed to do in the kitchen was done.  We then popped into Huntingdon on the Friday afternoon to pick up the tiles and adhesive ready for Monday.
