Apparently anyone can hire one

  

 Our heating engineer had to hire a cherry picker to attach a flu for the new boiler in the roof.  Apparently anyone can hire one.

House update

 Not much to say really other than we've booked in some tree surgeons to take down a couple of trees and have appointments booked with kitchen designers next week.

We're still waiting on final structural drawings then we can see if we can find a decent builder to start work.  I think we're quite a few months behind our original plan.  It'll get done eventually, just not anytime soon.

We're seriously considering getting one of these as a centerpiece

Day three in the Clark house

Everything seems to be going okay.  Painters finished yesterday and it's looking great. We had a call this morning and the carpeters are ready to make a start, unfortunately, the carpenter is also here.  And are working on the same space.  Eek.  The carpenter's fixing a few floorboards whilst the carpeters are doing heir best to work around him They seem to be getting on fine.

Top two bedrooms are getting carpeted first, then the upstairs toilet (lino), then my study, then the stairs.

 

Set back

Looks like the carpet won't get fitted until next Friday now.  So the built in furniture will have to wait till probably the week after.

Hallway stairs coming along

My office, where the fitted bookshelves will go.
