Yesterday was a bit hetic to say the least, I had to go to Crewe 'Cookes Coach Builders' where I've nearly completed the interiors for a Motor home, and it's nearly ready for the road, it's now in the spray booth - oooooh! but it's looooookin' good...
So back to the Masterbed project : dont know whether I mentioned it before but I'm the
co-ordinator/designer project manager, dogs body you name it thats me!
David the foreman <http://davidmarshfurniture.co.uk/ has been a star : although there was a mis-communication, the previous day I needed the door opening into the walkin wardrobe the same height as the sliding door which is 3" higher than the standard size door from any builders merchants - so off David toddles and brings back and installs (quick as a flash) an off the peg door frame for a UK standard door! WELL, I'm sorry, but this had to be changed can't live with something so drastic! one would argue 3" is not a lot! but for me it will spoil the lines - so folks, my tip is to write everything down and place your instructions in prominent position for all contractors to see - that way no mistakes can be made because mistakes are costly - however, I did insist this was changed, it is now the same height and I feel much happier about it.
On my way back from Cookes in Crewe I went to pick up my Sample Tile for the bathroom as the tiler will be tiling next week also just to make sure it was the one selected and better to be safe than sorry!
Jason the Plumber has started 1st fix and David has now finish all the plasterboard ready for the plasterer
who will start his work on Saturday...
Did have a bit of a laugh though, I needed to tell my man Ed we need to throw away the base of an existing Divan bed this was to big plus I'd mentioned throwing it in the skip to David earlier and with blink of and eye the Divan base was in the skip before I had time to mention it to Ed - oh dear 'sulks sulks sulks' Ed wasn't a happy bunny, anyway alls well now I made him a great big dinner of his choice and we sat outside in the garden with a glass of vino...
I do have a habit of throwing things out especially when I have a skip on hand it's so easy to rid of stuff
you don't like or have no use for anymore - i'm such a waist full character 'but some things will never change' my motto 'when in doubt throw it out!!!! '
so this morning will be spent in IKEA (all ways a trauma going to IKEA) but if you can select from their catalogue and go specifically for items you need it makes much easier plus time is precious
I've selected the wardrobe frames in dark brown or maybe dark grey not decided yet they all in the same location so I will make that choice when i'm there - the dark brown looks really expensive and will look classy in the walk-in wardrobe, a tip from me - it's actually cheeper to buy the Paks range frames plus you can organise the internals with their compliments collection and taylor make it to your requirements - I have to say that part is fantastic and saving money is all ways an advantage - then have bespoke doors made of you're choosing (that's if your budget allows) so I'm off now and if all goes to plan maybe i'll catch up later....
yu'all have a great day now....
