Things were going so well. I just knew that when I heard those words shouted up the stairs by "the builder" that something had gone wrong, and it was going to cost. Well, this is part of my lounge wall, and it's not meant to look like that.
It is meant to look like the other side of the hole, because it was time to replace front and back doors on the house.
A visit to a handmade brick supplier was then organised to get the matching bricks and the wall was rebuilt. Just my luck, why was the house not built with ordinary bricks, which could be sourced from an ordinary builders merchant?
It's a most disruptive experience, and I took refuge upstairs along with my laptop, whilst the house was pulled apart.Our cat took flight and went missing for 3 days. We put leaflets with a photo round the neighbourhood and she returned the same evening. She now has her very own Loc8tor tag!
These workmen consumed lots of tea and coffee and huge quantities of biscuits, but they did work hard and the job is now completed, mostly.
The finished doors and windows are in oak and I hope they will last a very long time.
