I now have photos of Project 5 on face book -- if you'd like to see our progress, check it out – www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=1225934715
The builder has been here again today to finish off the gravel drive, laying down top soil at the entrance to the bungalow and replacing the stink pipe outside the bathroom.
Dave & I are quite impressed – he’s done a grand job – and surprise, surprise once he was here he stayed until he completed the job…not all of them do that – they arrive for a few hours and then keep disappearing…
Even though he was very shaky in the beginning – trying to tie him down to a day to come round in the first place to see the job and then waiting and waiting for the quote….but he’s redeemed himself in his workmanship. We’ll definitely be keeping his telephone number in case we need him again -- we just have to pay him now -- OUCH!
Dave, in the meantime, has been beavering away in the kitchen – I know, again! – he’s now painted the ceiling, removed the old worktops – we’re waiting for the delivery of new ones (could be up to 28 days!!) and is plumbing the washing machine.
It’s been very hot here again today so we’ve stayed out of the garden as we don’t have much shade to work under and wearing an umbrella stuck to our heads seemed a bit extreme!!!
ME ;0)
