Work is progressing..........slowly

With good intentions to get the hob, work surface and bulkhead out this morning Ian was up and dressed by 7 am. So before you could say Jack Robinson the hob was removed  and the last means of cooking was gone and then the work surface. No end of screws and brackets held it in place and it would have helped if Ian was a contortionist but in the end after a lot of 'oh my knees and oh my back and shoulder' the work surface came away. Next task was to remove the floor boards so he could get at the bulkhead. Not easy as Ian, being super efficient, nailed several down when he put the flooring in. Again with perseverance he managed to remove the nails without damaging the boards and finally the bulkhead was ready for removal. Off to the workshop where he trimmed the wooden floor boards ready for fitting once the bulkhead had been newly positioned. As I had no cooker hob ( it having been removed earlier ) we broke off the procedings to have a spot of lunch in the Great Northern. Good carvery and plenty of it for only £6.95 and for Ian the added bonus of it being a real ale pub. By the time we came away it was gone 1.30pm and we still had to drive over to our bungalow in Sandiacre to collect the new cooker. That done Ian continued with cutting out the new work surface while I cleaned our old hob and cooker ready for sale. So as we stand at the moment, I have no cooker, no work surface, stuff from the kitchen draws strewn all over the place but Ian has assure me that the cooker will be in tonight. Whether it will be a working cooker is another question.
