How were your stress levels out of 10? Sounds like it's been pretty calm in your posts.
Pretty calm.
The only frustration I experienced was with Harvey Jones. Their communication was poor and at one point I did write a terse email to kick them into action. I was already double my first idea of budget by this point and I wanted to get an idea of remaining costs as I knew I would come close to emptying the bank fully and if I needed credit then I wanted to know. But for several months Harvey Jones would not give an indication of what was happening, who was going to be working on the worktop, the price range, anything I needed to consider... nothing, full radio silence, and at best my emails would be acknowledged but then yield no actual response. I snapped, but not in an angry way... in a very calm way, a "I am becoming stressed due to the costs, and this is fully from your behaviour as I only need you to set my expectations"... after that things were smoother (ignoring their failure to order knobs and handles which I solved by throwing money at the problem).
So yeah... pretty copacetic throughout I'd say.
Pot noodles and eating meals made from a kettle... meh... I was homeless and rough sleeping for over 2 years in my youth, frankly being in a warm, comfortable house, and with a Deliveroo Plus account means this stuff was a breeze, it was kinda fun to go back to basic stripped down existence for a while and now I get to appreciate what I have even more.

Looks great. All details thought through, great quality materials and sounds like you've had the right tradesman in to implement it.
