Im going to put my engine back together with my nice clean heads.

Remove wall cupboards from kitchen.

Lay cables for sockets behind new cupboards for cooker hood etc.

Chop out the walls and fit back boxes.

Run the extractor ducting for the cooker hood.

Box in the ducting, ready for plastering.

Might get an hour on the car if I'm lucky

wave goodbye to the fury

organize the garage so I can get the m3 in to strip

going over to the other garage to take back stuff to sell on here

then working on the house and working on all my r/c plane projects

I'm assuming this is mostly car related and not regarding what I intend to do to my GF

I'm hoping to finish the loom on the car and test the main components (lights, switches, starter, alternator, fuel sender etc). I've also got to begin laying out the exhaust manifold and working out lengths and bends..... not something I'm looking forward to!

Clean the house
Do the laundry
Make a list of things that will go either here or on Ebay

We're not really planning on doing anything with the car this weekend. Apart from the weather, I'm working

I've got a super exciting weekend planned

1) Screw my blooming wall-mounted taps to the wall (why didn't I just go for bath-mounted)
2) Do a whole load of plastering
3) Make my DIY immersion heater out of a 6 gallon galvanised cold water tank and a load of bits from BES because National Grid say it will take 2 months to get gas to my home and the old owner used a coal-fired back boiler which was seriously defunct.
4) Install a bog, sink, bath, shower etc etc
5) Do some more plastering

Prepare for a dinner party on Saturday night in a house with no heating, no hot water, no loo, sink or bath.

And no kitchen.

And only four chairs

Wasn't my idea......

Pot noodles for five it is then. And peeing in the garden. And sitting on the floor for one.

no excitment for me, I have to prepare a presentation for monday
