Tradies....

Had a busy day today...people everywhere, and thankfully not all at the same time.

Plumber came to look at the taps at the front of the house....they have been leaking ever since the bobcat sorta ran over them while doing a yard clean....they only needed to be tightened, thankfully the leak was on Yarra Valley waters side and not ours.
The guy fron the heating place turned up with an extension for the first of the heating ducts....it was too close to the unit so when the heating was turned on, the noise coming out of the vent sounded like a 747 landing, now, it is so quiet...much better :)
Also the electricians turned up to fix the plug for the stove....it had a normal plug, which when plugged into the socket didn't allow me to shut the pot drawer...so for the three weeks we've been in the house the pots have been sitting in their packing box still....this wasn't much of a drama as i still can't use the 4 outer burners on the stove, our SS tells us he has contacted Blanco and they are going to make some more feet for the stove, ones that will bring it upto the right height so we can then use the stovetop with out fear of damaging the reconstituted stone benchtop.

Also the installer from Decorator Curtains and Blinds returned today to finish installing the blinds...so now the dining room has its top blind, the rumpus room now has the header and channels for the roller blind and the craft room has a bracket that actually is the right length....i also got him to adjust the curtains and roman blinds in the lounge and to adjust the curtains in the master bedroom.  Overall they are now looking good, can't wait until next Thursday as thats when my plantation shutters are being installed.

The painters from PD were supposed to turn up today to paint the internals of the wardrobes, but nothing happened there, it would have been quicker if we had painted them ourselves...Kelly is desperately waiting for them to paint so we can install her wardrobe so she can put her clothes away instead of having them all over the furniture in her rooms.

Tony also got around to installing the light fixture in the craft room....I so love this fitting, so much that i bought it with me from Moonee Ponds when we shifted.
