7th October
Saturday was a bit of a slow day. I wasn’t intending to stay at the new place quite so long and I’ve had a few surprises during the week. Consequently I haven’t got all the tools here I need to continue the clean up.
As I was likely going to be here all day I did a Screwfix order in the hope it would arrive in good time and I could get something useful done while I waited in the vain hope the fibre guys would turn up. They didn’t and the stuff arrived just a I had to head back to the other house.
I’m in two minds at to whether or not to strip out the tiles from the corridor now on not. I don’t want to create extra work and this can easily be done after we move in.
But just look at the magnificent design and the colours 🤮
Sunday was swan muck out day this week as we couldn’t make it in Saturday. Thankfully not many in and they are all progressing well.
Monday was flu and Covid jab day, well that was the plan. I got the flu one ok but apparently asthma isn’t enough to qualify for Covid this year 🤷♂️
Then as I sat down for lunch at other house, the Fibre Guys rang to say they are at the house and are going to try hang the cable over the road to the other end of house. I jump straight in the car and dash over. There is no sign of them or a cable. And I’m still waiting (Tuesday evening) to hear what going on. It’s getting a little frustrating.
Anyway I loaded all the broken mirror and tiles from main bedroom into rubber buckets and into the car. And I drove very very carefully to the tip. Unfortunately it had already closed when I got there. So had to take it all back to other home for the night 🙄
Monday evening I was assured the Fibre Guys would be back on Tuesday. So I headed off bright and early, dumping the glass and tiles at the tip on the way.
I loaded all the tiles from the second bedroom into buckets and lugged them out to the lean to for now. I can’t go back to tip for a week or so or I’ll have to pay 💰😉
This afternoon I moved all the old junk ply and wood out of both bedrooms and cleaned then up, so we can now see exactly what we are working with.
Then I attacked the newly uncovered patio areas, that were covered with that disgusting decking, to see what we are left with. It’s in far better condition than I expected.
I case you’re wondering no the Fibre Guys didn’t turn up today 😫 but apparently they are definitely coming tomorrow 🤬 but no one knows what they plan to do.
I’m staying over anyway as we charity shop collection is happening tomorrow morning apparently…
Chicken dinner was good.
