Day 89 - 16 days to Christmas

We hear the clank of the builders loo door at 6.30am - peer out of the window to see what looks like the sparkies van driving off. Caught short on his way to another job we assume!

All hands to the deck - literally! Side path worked on, front step finished - K does wonders with the deck.
Painters gloss, new window installed as is the new loo. This one doesn't leak apparently!

By 4.30pm - they always knock off early on a Friday, we are nearing completion. They will be back on Monday to finish off. Its lovely to have the house peaceful.

It seems warmer in there and K checks that the heating is supposed to be on - hopefully that is OK. Big I to call P if not! Don't want a repeat of last weekend.

No one seems particularly interested in the change of cupboard doors in the utility room. But I think that it will be so much nicer and take control of this issue. I take a trip down memory lane and pop along to Howdens. They have what I want at £35/door. But I no longer have an a/c and think it imprudent to order it on the LBD one which is still open! I press the young man a bit and it seems that he can put it through on a friends a/c! So much for trade only! So I have the doors, now all I have to do is get P to fit them!

So, having a nice end of week chat with the boys, say goodbye, go to close the garage door and CRUNCH! K's van too near and door rebounds. No harm seems to be done to the van, but thereafter, the door wont close! It seems that it was worn out anyway and that knock was the final straw!

P returns home, we do a site survey and find that they have put the bar for the shower screen exactly where we asked them not - fine for me, but for anyone over 6' - no good. J admits an error  - it will be changed!

The wonderful decking with a tired woman on it - it will be lovely in the summer!




The shower looking good!
