Re: I am all worn out
Yes, nearly done.When I recover from this, I would like to replace my tiles round the sink and cooker as they are really old and look worse than ever now.
I looked in B & Q and also in Wickes today, and seen some I quite like.
I never dreamed how dear tiles are though, blimey!

Only problem is, at the moment I haven't been able to find the flippin' ceiling light ready for him to put back up.
I will have to search in the morning again, I've got to find it before he gets here. It will be "somewhere safe", but Gawd knows where.

Yes I did thank you Judd.
That was nothing to do with the insurance though.
I'm very pleased, it is so much better.
You know what I said before about how people will only do exactly what it says on their worksheet and nothing else, well when my electrician channeled the wall out to do the wiring, the grumpy decorator was not prepared to fill the groove in, even though he was plastering only about 4 ft away!
He didn't make the groove, so why should he fill it in!
I couldn't believe it.
He eventually did, but he was not a happy bunny at all.
BTW Judsy, do you know if you can still buy those soft tone strip lights? I have a feeling they were stopping making them, and ordinary white flourescent lights hurt my eyes, so I might have a problem if I can't find my other one in time.

Re: I am all worn out
I'm surprised your sparky didn't fill the wall chase in, I would have done.Is this `strip light` for your kitchen? If you mean the old-style fluorescent fitting they are slowly being phased out but you can still get them. You can get tubes in different colours - bright white, daylight and off-white. The off-white isn't as harsh.
Why not treat yourself to a new type of ceiling light, one that has LEDs in it, cheaper to run and more efficient.

Why do you always have to confuse me Judsy?
I don't flippin know what LED kitchen lights are like.
Anyway, I bet he won't put a different light in, he will say he only has to put everything back as it was before, not do any additional work.

You need to give yourself and your furry friends a treat after all this.
Thank you Mort. X
That's most of the insurance work completed, but need to get some jobs done for myself next.
I think the dogs have been marvellous coping with being shut away so much. It has not been easy trying to keep them out from under the contractor's feet every day.

Just had a phone call. The electrician is on his way to fit my light back up and finish my freezer wiring.
That'll be another job done.
