We have had quite an eventful weekend. We ordered a houseful of new interior doors which were delivered on Friday. And we then hired a super-duper all singing, all dancing nail gun to to put them up. When we went to get the nail gun, the car wouldn't start. And once it did, it overheated. On Saturday we attempted to put the doors (including their frames) up, it turned out that the super-duper all singing, all dancing nail gun was actually useless. The few test nails I tried, either went too far through the wood or not far enough. Great. On the plus side it was only rented and we hadn't spent a fortune buying it. So we went back to the days of old, and used a hammer to put up the doors. And then today (Sunday) we added the trim to all the doors we put up, so we are now ready for the carpet fitters to come and re-carpet the hallway. We were also informed that our replacement basin should arrive this coming Friday, so we can put that into the bathroom and the whole living side of the house will be complete. Result!! We also had the start of summer today as the temperature was near 80F (25C for y'all metric folks). Back to winter tomorrow though.
