At last I am on my way with our new kitchen from B&Q. Our target is to build a kitchen in 72 days and after all the frustrations of saving up, queuing for days and days, stashing all the boxes in the car and setting off out of the car park it's a relief to have made a start on the real work at last.
The good news is that I am 12 hours ahead of the next door neighbours record of 73 days which he set last year. The bad news is that SWMBO (aka "the Commander") is fairly pessimistic about my progress.
B&Q Kitchen
KEY DATA DAY 12 1410 GMT: 12 hours 36 minutes ahead
Lat/Long: the kitchen
Average cups of coffee per day: 15.7
IN BRIEF:
tcm continues to muck about with B&Q kitchen bits
* ANOTHER THREE DAYS AND TCM WILL HAVE TURNED THE WATER OFF in the in stark contrast to the current pleasant conditions
IN DETAIL:
Each hourly data shows tcm losing a few screws, or misplacing a crosshead screwdriver... The precious hours and minutes gained in driving home from the DIY shop at breakneck speed are diminishing.
EXCERPTS FROM AUDIO
How are things?
"Look shutupp, okay! Here Iam trying to sort this lot and all you can do is waste my time with poxy questions! "
How was last night?
"Well, it was okay, cos i went to the pub. I was very worried about everything as usual, and there's stuff all over the place.
How are the base units looking?
I haven't quite got round to those yet, and to tell you the truth it's not looking too good. I see the task in seven main sections :
1 getting all the gear home,
2 unpacking all the bits,
3 boshing together the units,
4 nailing them on the walls,
5 putting the worktops on
6 Shoehorning the sink and appliances (this can be the dangerous bit)
7 finally, connecting the water and electric
So far, we've only completed stage one, so there's a long way to go. A very long way to go.
WORK RATE ANALYSIS FROM Mrs tcm aka COMMANDER
The lazy lazy git! I am trying to find the long screwdriver while he's worrying about the base units. His energy is weakening and I am expecting him to fall further behind over the weekend.
