Posted on 17/01/2017 14:36 by TammygirlLovely sunny day here again today, I put the thermometer on the front window ledge outside to see just how warm it is, the sun coming through the window is very warm. Thermometer says 20c
now I know that's in the sun but wow! can't be bad. going out the back of the house is a bit different as its NE facing so more like 10c but still good for January. The hills still have snow but I don't think they are getting a good ski season this year.
Hope you get the washer sorted MH, by the way how did Mr MH Op go, has he got the patch of yet, (did they do both eyes or just the one)
Glad to hear the knitting is still going well Bakers what are you making.
DSB, hope you get a solution to the dental issue.
We've just had a power out in the village, phoned the appropriate number, they took details, called back to let us know someone was on their way to look at the problem, short time later power back on, another phone call to ask if everything was alright did we have any problems and was everything working ok. Must admit very impressed with them.

Mr H's op all went according to plan thanks Tammy. He is not a patient patient and not enjoying the fact that he can't drive at the moment. He still wears the patch at night and I try to make him wear his wrap-round sunglasses if he goes out as he mustn't get anything in the eye. He goes for his follow up appt on the 27th and they will then give him the date to do the other eye.

Washing machine mechanic came yesterday. He looked at though he should still be in school. He fiddled around a bit and said that he thought it had been a 'glitch' in the circuit board but all was now fixed. I am not convinced. I did one load yesterday and shall do another today to see how things go.

Our elderly neighbour bought a new microwave and we volunteered to take her old, heavy, ancient one to the tip. There's a recycling plant almost en route to Curry's, where we headed but when we got there it had been closed due to cut backs. So this afternoon we headed 5 miles the other way only to find that one was undergoing refurb so closed until April. I can foresee plenty of fly tipping in the area.
So we'll have to go to another one tomorrow before shopping otherwise they'll be no room in the boot.
Did get to Currys though for that all important new vacuum.

Posted on 17/01/2017 21:19 by KjellNNWill there be a lot of cutting?
I take it you will be removing plinths and appliances and running the tiles in under them?
In DD's first flat, the useless first owner tiled both the bathroom and kitchen floors......very badly.
In the bathroom he tiled up to the bath panel, making it very difficult to remove.
In the kitchen he just tiled up to the plinths. Luckily there were plenty of spare tiles, so I ripped the plints off, added an extra half width of tile, and replaced with new plinths so we could at least get access.
The built in appliaces were more problematical......a dishwasher and a washer/dryer that sat on plastic feet or little legs in their slots. The W/D the legs could be screwed in so there was then enough space to lift them over the lip of plywood and tile, but when the D/W needed to come out the little feet could not be adjusted far enough so I had to destroy them to get the machine out!
There was much muttering!

Yes, a fair bit of cutting. I've planned it to avoid any small pieces.
Regarding the plinths, plan 'A' was to remove them and tile behind / beyond them.
Yesterday, I removed a short section, expecting to see pedestals behind. There weren't any. It seems that the plinths are 'structural' and are supporting the floor cupboards.......so cannot be removed.
So with some reluctance, it looks like I will have to resort to plan 'B' and tile up to them.
