Last week ended on a sour note as our kitchen designer left for a week's vacation with a fax telling us that our layout won't quite work. The sinks are impinging on a couple of the cabinets we want to use, meaning something has to give. We'll probably end up getting a smaller main sink, but that will have to wait until next week when she gets back. We're a little torqued after taking time off work to go over the plans - why couldn't these things have been uncovered at that point? The whole kitchen part of the project is timed off of the cabinet order.

The living room and spare bedroom are full of boxes already and we haven't even begun to pack up the kitchen.

The cats are starting to calm down. We shut them up in a few connected rooms upstairs during the day but that will narrow to the master bedroom tomorrow when the sitting room is gutted for the electrical work.

Trixie has a little trouble with the dust barrier sometimes.

Yesterday they installed the glass door in the back room. What an improvement.
