I feel like I have not been living my own life for an eon but in reality the reconstruction of my kitchen and subsequent departure from my abode only occurred 2 weeks ago.
Renovating has been full of highs, lows and frustrations. As I enter my third weekend away from home, there is some resemblance of the final result as the cabinetmaker installed the kitchen cupboards this week.
Appliances started arriving 2 weeks ago thanks to the end of financial year stocktake. Why would Harvey Norman want to count it when they can deliver it to my place then call me at 5.30 to say "Who is taking delivery of this", well the answer was "Paul Edwards would have if you delivered before 12 as instructed" Grrr, while i can't fault the service of the Harvey Norman warehouse outlet, the stores after sales service has been crap.
As a result my lounge room has been looking like warehouse because the team doing the work weren't quite ready for it. But my last days prior to exiting for work to begin were spent with a fridge at the end of the couch so why not a microwave on the kitchen table.
After the weekend will be when the final fixing of the electrical appliances. Then I'll have a house that looks like a house but I have this foreboding sense that it just can't be that easy.
