Building update

This week has really tested my patients. First of all the builders went through the gas pipe.Then on Wednesday night the shower ket on tripping the electric. I thought they had gone through the wire. We only need them to nip the water pipes and they will have  a hat trick.

It turns out the element has gone in the shower. So it wasn't there fault.
We went and bought a new shower. Both the builder and Geoff said it's easy just take it off pop the new one on.

It turns out our old shower was quite deep on the wall and the new ones are narrow. So not so easy unless we find a deep one it will be quite a big job. We will have to take the tiles off and chase out the pipe in the wall.

The drama of it all.



On a brighter note the building is going up.







half the false ceilings gone in along with the carcass of my pantry.

Sam Smith

Sam Smith was amazing!! what a fantastic entertainer.
He was so overwhelmed with the crowd and there reaction to him. He had everyone crying when he dedicated a song to the people who were at the arena on the 22 May 2017.
He has such a vulnerability to him you just want to hug him.

I dragged my eldest daughter with me. She's my concert partner we always go to see people together. She has moaned about it for weeks then forgot she was going.

Well Sam you have a new fan. She loved you.

Thanks Sam for a brilliant night

Feeling frustrated

This build is really slow and frustrating I feel the builder and the building inspector are holding me to ransome.
If I don't have what the building inspector dictates he will stop the build.

And the builder he just comes and go's when he pleases.

It's really getting me down now.

I came home from work this morning to find them here. I got up at 13:00 and they had gone. It;s a four day week this week and next, so they aren't going to get much done again.








On a brighter note the window people have just rang they are coming out to fit the new windows on Wednesday morning.
