******WORK SCHEDUEL UPDATED 12TH JUNE *************

Here we are then a copy of the work schedule starting from a week tomorrow.  Above you'll find the rooms that they wish completed and the dates that the work should be done by if we push hard!! We're sleeping  in room 315 down the bottom and you see we're due to leave before they'll get all of it done (we return july27th)
 Now when we say room, I shall now explain what is meant by a "room". A single which we stay in comprises of a kitchenette and small walk in wardrobe, a large room where the bed is and space for a few chairs and then a small shower room. A double is the same but with an separate bedroom and of course a far larger walk in wardrobe. So the above shows that two single apartments and one double should be completed every two weeks. We aim to
  •  Paint,
  •  varnish doors and window ledges
  •  replace skirting boards
  •  replace broken tiles or retile completely if needed
  •  regrout bathrooms and delimescale tiles and shower trays
  •  new carpets or hard floor and also give new blinds 
After these things are done by a team of about 7/10 of us we then wait with baited breath for the home office to inspect and sign of each room. Quality control!! So this week we have two rooms (single and double) waiting to be signed off, the corridor, bin room, hall kitchen to finish before we start the list above. Which I'm sure we'll manage, hopefully! This end of the week it seems like a lot to do.
So i plan on keeping you up to date on this page with how we're doing on the schedule above ( yawn for you i know!) and with the work photos. Hope it makes some sense!

  3. Lovely to see the progress, you won't want to decorate ever again! Either that or you'll be perfect at it! At least you have nice weather, ours is rubbish, the winter is insisting on staying, its freezing!! We'd better have a good summer! Love Sarah xx
