So we have just spent the week down at Gruff and Brendas while they were on holiday (in Oz, in the sun, lucky things!) It has been so nice to have a fire and a dishwasher - oh how I have missed the dishwasher. Anyway it allowed us to be out of the house while the polyurethane went down on the wooden floor, so it has been a tiring week - for Jase who worked all day and then spent his evening staining, polishing and painting and for me who had sole responsibility of all six children for the week and then on the weekend while Jase was away ploughing. I did however get a bit of knitting done without the call of sorting, housework etc etc, so it was in effect a nice break for me too.
So before the disco we had to call in at home to get a couple of things and, of course, to take photos, so you will see in the background the floor with the first couple of coats of polish on, I will add more photos in the next few days of the finished floor.
The carpet was due to go down today but unfortunately when Jase went to paint the skirting boards (they had to go down after the polishing but before the carpet) the paint contained a foreign material that made it all bumpy and looked like lots of little hairs were in it. So that had to go back and the boards had to be all sanded and repainted - hence we had to put the carpet layers off until next week. We should know by now that nothing goes to plan shouldnt we!!!
