Gosh it was hard to get out of bed this morning! Dark outside, tired, sore back. So I gave myself a talking to and I'm up and ready to go. Builders ringing front door bell at 7.40am, whilst I was still drawing on my face! Good job P was dressed. Then again at 8am - Big I wanting to discuss dips in driveway - no doubt trying to say that his huge lorries, piling stuff, concrete dispensers had nothing to do with it. I stay well out of it.
They are piling up decking stuff in the back garden so today will show whether the thoughts on how far the deck should extend will be tested.
Door bell again - Ian C on way back from chiropodist. So its not even 9am, and so much has happened!
Driveway wars over - they will do enough to make it workable, and be included within estimated price. Absolutely no point in re laying it all at a cost of £1800 +vat! I told then we need money to put Christmas food on the table! Gave Big I and K some marmalade - to sweeten them ;-)
There is a lot of ground-works/paving action today. They are trying to reconstruct the front drive, and at the back they have levelled the under decking area out and covered with shingle. Garden full of decking bits.
The twins rub walls down and paint!
Rather strangely N appears mid afternoon and reconnects the new pump, and does various things - we think something to do with the veluxes but no one is sure. So K has to come and disconnect the pump - we don't want all that hassle again!
He does untape all the sockets - I have no idea what they are all for but have indulged Patrick!
Nice sunny, if windy day - so I walk to Old Amersham and back (pilates) and Little Chalfont and back (Library induction). 9K! The library volunteering seems to be manageable.
Christmas WineSoc tonight - that will be jolly!
PS: We actually had an apology from Big I this evening re the N and pump fiasco! O M G!! He has offered to replace this pump, since it was running dry! Amazing!
