Arrangements to put it back together

And now the FOURTH set of Fitters is about to descend.

As predicted, we were backed into a corner over the sink problem. The IM rang early this week to say that Fitter3 would not be coming back as he did not have another slot until end of August. She had a couple more guys (hereafter referred to as "Fitters4") though who could come in Weds & Thurs this week. However, I was not going to be available during Wednesday and although she did offer to 'house sit' for us, we were both reluctant to allow tradespeople in without us being here.
Especially given the history up to now!
So we negotiated for one day only - Thursday (yesterday, more on that later) - in order to at least get the wall units back up so we could put stuff away.
We will then have to sit and wait for a slot to get the base units done. A very on-the-hoof way of doing it, and I'm resigned to the irony that if we'd waited for September when Fitter2 was available then it probably would have been sorted quicker. Ho hum.

On top of that, everything now has to be reiterated AGAIN to more fitters.

It's also not escaped our attention that the IM has finally accepted that the work can be split up into bite-sized pieces. There was no need to insist on everything being done in one slot with all the kit having to be here.
