Kitchen floor down. At last.

Finally got the floor down. The tile adhesive did a good job of absorbing the unevenness left by the unlevel self-leveling. However my non-uniform application of the adhesive has left a couple of tiles with slight height differences. We're talking mm here, but it's something I'll notice because I know it's there. We'll see what others think, assuming they are't simply too polite to mention it.

Another big delivery

Had all the wood flooring, underlay, kitchen tiles, fire-surround, and a few other bits on order from our DIY supplier, this was scheduled to arrive this morning, so a half day's holiday was booked for me to recieve it, and move it into the house. Somebody's timing slipped a bit and the truck didn't arrive until after lunch, once again blocking the whole estate for the few minutes required to crane the large palletload of stuff into the front garden.

Once it'd been shifted inside most the day was gone, so I called the office explaining the change of plans and then set to getting some more plasterboard attached to the walls.

Kitchen has arrived

Yup, the kitchen has arrived. Delivered just after lunch, and now sat on my remaining wheel-boards in the dining room.

The kitchen can't be fitted until the floor has been levelled, and tiled.

The tile are 600x600mm porcelain, heavy and need to be wet-cut.
