After almost a month of debating and arguing. We finally got the news this week that we had been awarded the full retention for the full amount to pay towards the re-plastering costs.

It’s been a massive relief that we are finally rid of these horrid people and we can start to move on.

So now the war begins….

Not literally, but it feels as if getting the house and finally being rid of the vendors is just one of the tasks on the world’s longest to do list.  At this point we have yet to have a confirmed start date for our building work.  This is a biggest piece of the jigsaw puzzle that we need to slot into place and it feels as if we are on pause.  Navigating through all the quotes and start dates is very daunting but we know we need to start soon other wise we will be living at the mother in law for ever!

Our first upcycling…

After the all of the drama we’ve still had time to start preparing the house for the upcoming work… and even managed a bit of freshening up of the old kitchen  cupboards…

Before on the left… After on the right

Coving down and floor tiles up…

Like I said… start of the war  against bad taste 🙂
