One down, one to go...fingers crossed!!!

Day one of upheaval is over.
Came home from work to find floorboards up in nearly EVERY room, dust and tools as far as the eye could see. Luckily Tom and Rob had carefully moved my precious bookcases and moved the books as the guys seemed to need access to everywhere, all at the same time. Hrmmmph.
Just the boiler to fit tomorrow and the main pipework to and from it, oh and the radiator in our room isn't on the wall yet. They have worked really hard, but it will take a while to recover from the strain of this. I do not cope well with strangers working in my house, although they seem nice enough. Father and son team.
Time for dinner and try to wind down a bit. Trying to focus on how nice it will be to have heating in our room this winter and not have to camp in the living room in front of the open fire...although that was quite exciting and cosy had the 'mattress' been a little more comfy. Sofa cushions have a habit of sliding apart just when you don't need it!!!

Hi Carolyn, I hope Ollie's impromptu visit on his bike didn't interrupt your day too much? I understand the stress levels, I hate that disruptive stuff even if it is all worth it in the end.

Hope to see you soon,

Louise X
