13-15 March 2015
The shower surround, having been in Lefkas town for two weeks, finally got delivered on Thursday, which gave us Friday to get it installed. The delivery was ridiculous. Having decided that large sheets of glass should not be carried in the Punto, we had asked the bathroom shop to deliver. They rang to say they were at the bypass. Usually, we meet delivery people at the bypass, and lead them back to our place. But this time, the delivery man just put the shower surround into the back of the Punto. Panic. I was on my own and inched my way back, stopping on the road across the field from the house to phone Dave to come and help. He walked across and took over the driving, while I hung onto the box to keep it steady down our track. Very stressful. Luckily it survived.
The next day we set out to install it. The instructions were incomprehensible. It was even more stressful. It took us all day, and Dave had to work it out as we went along, well done him. When it was finished it looked pretty good tho'.
I threw down some mats to cover up the boards on the floor, and Dave brought the gas bottle heater down from the shed, and hurrah! we have an indoor bathroom. I also made some temporary 'double glazed' windows using a double skin of polythene with the bubble wrap that came with the shower surround - hopefully it'll be quite warm in here.
And the bedroom for Rob and Tanya - cleared out the music room, raked the gravel floor, laid lots of cardboard from the bath and shower boxes and washed all the rugs. Not too bad for a guest room!
