Day 86


1 plumber, 2 painters, 1 chippy and Big I intermittently!

Outside tap installed, and its in the right place. P is happy.

K works away on blocking in the chimney flue - makes a lovely neat job/feature of it.

And he nearly finishes the meter cupboard....

We agree not to reuse the old side gate and they work at installing nice new one with new fence posts etc.

M the plumber works hard and lots of bathroom stuff installed and connected - whoops the loo leaks all over the floor! The theory is that it has a crack somewhere they order a new one.

He installs a new pump to replace the one which made such a racket at the weekend.

Its a different colour so we know that they've changed it.

A good day all in all, still lots to be done - but they are certainly on the case.

I get a text from James to say that he is back in the UK - which is always a relief.

Off out tonight to 101 in Amersham with some girlfriends - ex accounts support from LBD - hopefully relaxing! There's nothing in the fridge for P - memo to self - better get to Waitrose at some point tomorrow.
