We get laid (or at least the carpet does), wired and plumbed

Once more we lurch out of bed at 6:30, as the carpet layer is due at 7:00am. He is early so it isn't long before he's measured up, decided which way to run the carpet, consulted us about edging at the ends of the hall, then headed back to the warehouse to collect the carpet.
While he's gone, we make the final payment, so it's all good to go.
We spend the next hour shifting all the plastic containers and boxes that have been stacked in the garage for ages back into the house next door - these are the repository of all the glasses, crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment, the linen, the cleaning stuff from laundry and bathroom, and small appliances like the iron, the hairdryer, the toaster and coffee maker.
At about 9am the electrician comes back to complete the final testing and fix a few things that weren't working. Shortly after that Mark the carpet layer returns with underlay and carpet. For the rest of the day he and Andrew conduct a pas de deux as Mark lays underlay and carpet and Andrew does final wiring and testing. We trot in and out occasionally to see how they're going, between spending time with Peter's son Michael and our sort-of grandchild Summer.
Later in the afternoon, when Michael, Summer and I return from the neighbourhood playground and Peter ends a long telephone call, both Andrew and Mark have finished, and we can admire the result. Michael gives us a hand to move the queen bed and mattress back into the front bedroom, with Summer supervising. She finds all the new cupboards fascinating, and explores all the contents. When we get the bed re-erected and the mattress on, she insists that we all take off our shoes and try it out.
After Michael and Summer leave, Peter vacuums the new carpet, while Helen shifts the bedding and cushions which have been cluttering up the piano room in the big house back into the little house, and makes up the bed ready for our occupancy tomorrow night. In the process we realise that sometime during the day the plumber has also dropped in and connected up the dishwasher. With toaster and coffee maker installed, it is all starting to really look like a home.
