So the wood floor has been going into the new place all week and is still some way off being finished. G has had to call them twice so far to point out dings, scrapes, and cracks in the new boards going in. Not particularly impressed about this. We're hoping that they don't end up in a pissing contest with the moving company about who is actually responsible for the damage.
After the skirting board incident of choosing between various heights and types of wood, we agreed to pay these guys to paint them rather than do them ourselves. Arriving at the house last night we discovered them laid out on the garage floor and painted extremely badly. Another phone call to complain. At this point it feels as though all of this will never be finished.
The stuff begins to arrive today, to complicate matters further. And of course we have to pack up this rented place. I cannot wait to leave the sound of the 405 which has accompanied every waking moment for the last month and a half. I also can't wait for my own bed at last. I do, however, have to despider the place first as several massive fuckers have moved in while the house has stood empty. Urgh. Shudder.
