It’s been a cold and dusty day at the house. Cold because the plumbers have been installing the new boiler which means there’s been no heating and dusty because the brick saw has been gradually getting closer to the back door. I’ve been sequestered upstairs, shivering.
Before the plumbers (for there were two) arrived this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that I should take a before and after photo of the boiler. Here’s the before:
And here’s the after:
It’s a lovely new Italian boiler and took over 10 hours to install! The plumber left just before 7pm. Which meant I didn’t miss The Archers. It also meant being up all night scrubbing muddy footprints off the floors.
I did manage to escape the building site for a bit this morning when I went into town to pick up Mirinda’s new glasses. Otherwise, it’s just been me, the mess and the cold.
Sadly, the path wasn’t finished today. Dave has left a row of bricks that still need cutting (the approaching gloom defeated him once more) on Monday morning. He also needs to sweep the sand into the joints. Still, they worked very long and hard today as you can see.
So the poodles will have fun dodging the gaps when they return on Sunday!
I just had to include this that I spotted on Twitter. It’s what news anchors do when they’re not on air.
Great new boiler and your path is nearly there hope the dogs don’t try and dig them up.
Loved the film of what the News Anchors do in the break very funny and they were so good keeping together.
love mum
Superb bizarre out there
New boiler looks far more sexy than the old one!
