Final screws have been tightened and the kitchen is now fully operational at Sentebale. However I still had one final disappointment, yesterday when the guy came to rewire the cables he decided just to drill a whole straight through the cupboard instead of using one of the existing ones round the back. I tell this episode to illustrate the little attention to detail that some people have, I’ve learnt a lesson from it. I need to be there to see things being done.So that’s now done (tiles still need repairing from the last disaster but I consider it finished anyway). Tomorrow I will spend a good part of my day on site discussing what will happen, and in what order. I will also meet the contractor because he did not show up today, and try to make a new program of the work to be done!
But since the slabs are now nearly all out, the compressor never arrived, and we have no walls anymore I’ve decided that we have the opportunity to do a little re-design exercise… So I have now changed the layouts slightly both to adapt to the new situation but also to help resolve one or two of the problems. I will run them through Martin, Lydia and A4A so that they can be “signed off” and be drawn on to the “blueprints”.
The end of the day was a meeting with John MacCloy, British architect that has been in the country for over 20 years and that had been invited by one of the doctors to help out with what will be done at the playground at QEII. He agreed with the general aspects of the design and was just worried about the barrier not being high enough… Will larger tyres do the trick? Not sure will have to test it…
