Staircase ordered

The staircase man came this week to measure up for the two new staircases. Because of the very high ceilings in the gites we can't buy an off the shelf staircase. Each staircase is made to measure. Both have two quarter turns but each is the mirror image of each other because they are located in opposite corners.
The planned fitting date is the last two weeks in May. Great news, but we do need to lay the floor tiles before the staircase arrives. However before Caroline - I call her Bonnie Tyler when she starts to sing - lays the tiles I need to put up the internal walls. However before the walls go up the plumbing and electrics need to be installed behind the walls and the suspended ceilings need to be fitted.
Suddenly the screw is being tightened and the pressure is building. It wasn't meant to be like this. I came to France to relax, spend more 'quality time' with the family. Ah well, I guess the sooner they are finished the sonner I can get to the beach.
