What have you been doing today?

[albaPhenom]

Been fitting bloody skirtings, architraves, etc etc all weekend, started at 09:00 this morning and knocked off at 20:45 … sat in the garden with a beer and a Burger King I ordered on those phone apps.

Couple more to go tomorrow and their done hopefully. Need to give most rooms another coat, blinds come Wednesday, carpets come Friday.

Then I need a painter for the upstair/downstairs hall, put the rads back ionwith new trvs, change the lights, switches, sockets and the only job left after that is the stair / landing bannister.

Ugghhh

OK, now we have seen the building site, where is your house.

That's not a building site that's my landscape gardening creation.

Don’t give up your day job.

Clever idea that. Is it bath or kitchen sink waste? If the latter, would it not attract rats or mice (bits of food in the water)? I may divert my khazi outlet onto the veg plot, added fertilizer.

That’s a good idea. I could do the same as our downstairs bog is a macerator - if I connect a hose pipe and put my finger over the end I could spray it everywhere!

It's bath/shower.

The Aussies have two water mains one that's potable water one that's grey water

Your idea is brown water and that smells like shįț . Not even the rat's all like that

Last day for my students today. I let 'em go early, it was too hot and even the A/C wasn’t doing much. Big steel shutters directly in the sun, you could feel the heat from them from 3 feet away. Dunno whether I’ll be doing it next term yet - I’ve got used to not working now. I’ve done the usual tradesman trick of pricing it high, hoping not to get it but if I do, it will be worth it. If I don’t do it, I might just rent the place out yet or possibly sell it if the price is right. Big, big holiday coming up when we do sell it though - we're talking Clacton or even Great Yarmouth……

Went in to work on my scooter wearing just a T-shirt and shorts and even at 60mph there was no cooling breeze - it was like opening an oven door.

Sat in front of a fan, waited in for boiler service guy, he arrived at 11, now waiting for a rental van due at 3, then got to transfer my kit over before my van goes tomorrow for some bodywork repairs.

Mottie. Can you get over to the Motoring pages; I have a problem with my van
