Done

[andrewducker]

Right, that's about 50 cardboard boxes opened and emptied, various shelves, mirrors, and coat-hooks and other miscellaneous bits and pieces attached to walls, and large amounts of sweeping, wiping and washing done.

Hugh and Meredith still have to put up bookshelves in their hall, move their kitchen from its current (illegal) position and get double glazing fitted, but frankly that's largely _their_ problem.  It's been an exhausting weekend and I'm bloody glad it's over and I can go to bed.

Oh, and I got a couple of pictures of Mum helping out with the plastering:



and the cleaning:



and Meredith putting tools into the new tool cupboard (after me and Hugh had put in strips of wood to hang everything from)

How does one move a kitchen, and why is its "position" illegal?

[andrewducker]

The previous owner moved the kitchen to the front of the building, and plumbed the waste-water from the sink/washing-machine into the guttering pipes. This is illegal. Hugh has to move it back to the back of the flat and plumb it into the proper sewerage pipes (which are larger). He'd want to do that anyway, as the current kitchen is tiny.

And the move doesn't involve much - running in a gas line for the cooker and making sure the plumbing stretches ok.
