Sparky; "I haven't heard from the Project Manager. My emails are bouncing"
Me; *bites nails* *sends email to PM*
PM; "Yeah. I've spoken to the sparky. All under control"
Sparky; "Still haven't heard from PM*
Me; *bites nails* *sends email*
PM; "Yeah, I've talked to him several times. All under control"
Sparky; "Can't get hold of PM"
Me; *bites knuckles Cos nails are all gone*

Delays plague Chez Bland Designs

Greetings Blandies, Bad news on the “nearly done” front this week, but first, the progress; Sparkies were in for final fix; This isn’t quite done. But it looks cool.  The switches come in both “on” *and* “off modes. I know, right? The stone benches were installed, along with the fancy pants sinks that long-time readers will recall we bought *ages* ago (got a bargain one night in Toorak).  They look amazeballs, as the cool kids say. Do they still say that? I dunno. Let’s just say they do, yeah? Sweet.  The tiles arrived; along with some of the appliances.  And the wooden flooring went in; And the waterproofing went on; This stuff stank. But the guy was happily painting it on like it was NBD. Apparently, this should be been done some time ago; this is part of the issue we’re now faced with.  And now the bad news, my loyal subjects.  In a chance meeting with the PM yesterday, he casually mentioned the date we’ve been working towards the whole time, might be op...

Greetings Blandies, A flurry of finishing trades graced Chez Bland Designs this week,  The gasfitter came and finished off all the bits and pieces; Not shown, gas bottles. We still need to get those sorted.  Also, the water heaters. Fun fact, the gasfitter had to finish all his bits at once cos the next day he was getting on a plane to England to go and play bowls! I know, right? Like a world champs or something. Weird.  The sparkies finished their fit-off;  Lights (and Sprogs More lights.  Sewage pump control thingy.  That LED mirror though. I mean.  The glass for the shower was finally fitted. It’s very hard to get a decent photo of a pane of glass.  So the plumbers also came to finish of their bits and pieces. This included fitting the four fancy pants taps that we’d provided. Apparently, two of the four taps we supplied leak. This seems a remarkable coincidence but as we have sod-all time, we’ve bought a couple of cheap mixers to put in so we ...

We’re bringing splashyback

(I feel like I should apologise for that appalling Justin Timberlake pun. I mean, I’m not going to, and frankly this blog is chock full of puns for which I should apologise, but still) Greetings, my loyal Blandies. I’ve returned to shine a beacon of brightness in your boring lives again.  Again, not all heroes wear capes.  Following on from my heroic escapades (refer previous blog), I’m happy to report the splashbacks have been done; Stoked with the black, just quietly.  And the tiling in the bathrooms has been completed as much as it can before vanities go in; (This photo courtesy Mrs Bland Designs)  ( That shower though)  Wardrobe doors and runners have been fitted; (This also courtesy Mrs Bland Designs)  And carpet has been laid; (Plastic fitted to stop bastard tradies stomping on my new carpet with their muddy bloody boots)  The sparky pointed out today that some of our heated towel rails are ridiculously small (not his exact words) so we’re gonna ...
