Day 16 (I think...)

This morning has mostly been taken up with trying to get essays out of the way for uni work - deadline next week.

However, in the midst of that, I have had news that ANOTHER skip is full. More from the garden pile and more wood from the walls and ceilings.  To those who are wondering, none of the wood is safe to be burned in a wood burner or open fire, due to the chemicals used on it.  There have been suggestions that some should have been kept, and used to build a playhouse. It's a lovely idea, but I don't think I have the energy or the room for it at the moment.  However, all the laminate flooring that we've taken up has now gone to a good home (hoorah!), and the chipboard is going to be used for boarding the attic.  As much as possible from the midden will be recycled, and I've kept all the plant pots which will hopefully be nicely planted by the time we arrive.

Remotely, we've chosen a bath and taps, decided where we want plumbing and electrics to go, and are in the process of choosing curtains and working out where bookshelves will go. A new skip has been ordered for next week (they can't deliver before Tuesday am), and we've just been told that the kitchen units are falling apart, so we'll work out where to get some new ones from, and whether we want to change any designs - I'm not certain how long it will take to build a new kitchen though....
