Hi guys finally got a date for my bathroom and the widening of The doors and painting the  place after they've done the work so  it  starts on the 13th of May so I'll be going into respite for a couple of weeks while it's done hopefully it won't take too long to be done   there's been a few setbacks but that's been sorted out but now it's all go and I'll get to see what it looks like soon I thought I'd update you guys and let you know what's been going on

    That's so great to hear @Ashvinney as I know it's been a bit of a battle for you!

    Please do keep us up to date with everything, I'm sure having these adaptions will make being at home so much easier day to day :)

    update not impressed with  what happened yesterday guy that comes out and give to the contractors the stuff that needs  doing as now told my occupational therapist there's no one in the council of contractors that can do it cos they're totally backlogged  and they well  have to go private to get contractors which could take him some time to find some contractors so until this is sorted I'm stuck in this respite I can't even go back into my own flat so it's really getting me down now I don't understand what the big thing is about it just get on with it they gave us the 13th of May and now they changed it so I thought I'd just let you guys know what was going on

    That sounds really frustrating @Ashvinney, thank you for the update, hopefully they can find a private contractor  sooner than they think.

    Great news about the work starting @Ashvinney :) 

    Is there anything in particular that you dislike about the flat you're currently staying in?
