Carpenters, builders or whatever!

In August when we had the electric general heating replaced and got geothermal heating. Then we started dreaming about a new bathroom and started preparing for that, making cost estimations and then buying stuff. New bathtub, sink, unit, toilet, shower, tiles and basically everything. Our intentions were to do most of this ourselves with Árni's help. Árni fittet the new toilet sometime in October or November or something. Then we got someone to cut the lines in the floor for the floor heating. Then a couple of plumbers came and fitted the heating. That was before Christmas. Then we realised that we would never have time or knowledge to do this ourselves and Árni is extremely busy so we decided to get professionals to do the work. First the tiler, he did the floor. Then he did a part of the walls and then the plumber came and fitted the shower. That was done on Monday. And the old bathtub removed. Yesterday the builders started fitting the unit, well, they did the mirror and what a bloody mess. Wish I'd taken a picture of it but now I guess it's too late because we had them fix it. It was so far from being level that it's just a joke. Their manager came over this morning to see how it was and instructed them to fix it. That's going to delay the whole thing which is not good for the tiler. He's been great. One hundred percent professional and he's also given us a certain amount of push so that the work has been done. The other buggers are the ones to worry about. I don't know if I can hope that they will finish today but I tend to be optimistic and I will keep on being like that.
