It's looking good, if you've got a sense of humour and are optimistic, that is! For her bed and the YumYum HQ are the only places that are clean and peaceful! Otherwise, she despairs of ever having a proper home again!
When I get back, I'll have to give her a quick nip to cheer her up and get her out of her doldrums, for this stuff, which is piled up everywhere, must have had a home, mustn't it? Mind you, the big airing cupboard has to be re-built as that doesn't exist any more for the new boiler is in there now.
But the pressure on the hot water taps is much stronger, this is a good thing, except the washer of the hot tap in the bathroom basin will have to be replaced and likewise the hot water tap on the bath. This is because the new boiler is fed directly from the mains supply.
But the mess, oh lordy, the mess, the torn down false ceiling in the hall, the bathroom cupboards which held the two header tanks were both butchered to take the extractor flue pipes, these exit above the front door. These cupboards now need to be rebuilt and painted.
This last day of October is a fine day, but there will be no gardening for her today, for Richard is supposed to be working here as well today but he hasn't shown up yet, Melford, who left here after nine o'clock last night was here at ten o'clock this morning, but he cannot fit the bedroom radiator until the electric point is moved to the left.. that is Richards' work.. grrr.
So he's running the pipes into the sitting room and doing that radiator. He brought with him extra heavy duty plastic sheets and bungs for removing very old radiators in an extremely dirty job with stuff that resembles black oil liable to flow out of the pipes!
This happened in the bathroom, luckily it didn't flow onto the carpet but onto a dust sheet! But the sitting room carpet is off white.. horrors if that was damaged.
Hey Ho.. tomorrow is Sunday. I don't know whether the work will be finished by tonight or not. She was hoping to bring me home tomorrow and I was hoping to go home but at this rate.. well, we will see later on. Certainly the restoration work will not be done today, that's for sure.
For Richard has to measure up the new spaces for cupboards, get the necessary materials and then do the work and he is not the speediest worker in town, that's for sure.
This is the fourth day in a row that she's been confined in the flat apart from a quick trip to the local branch of MailBoxEtc to pick up a package on Thursday. And there's nowhere else to sit apart from on her bed. In and out.. in and out.. of the front door they've been and the door has been open most of the time, plus she has had to be here to answer questions.
So we are both stir crazy!
GeeGee Parrot.
