Bomb Site

Well, the bathrooms are done at last and I am very pleased with them. My house still looks like a bomb site though. This weekend will be spent dusting and tidying. I discovered that our ensuite is not the dingy room I thought it was. It’s now light and bright and has the new vent I always said it needed because we found a vent hidden behind the tiles. Yes, the previous owner tiled over the vent. Another bodged job to add to the list of stuff we have had to put right since we moved in. An electrician had to come in to deal with the lights and so on. He made several trips into the loft and kept coming down sucking his teeth and muttering about cowboys. Most of our electrics are routed through the loft and apparently our wiring was awful – and dangerous. In the electricians words, ‘I’ve seen better wiring than that cause fires. I don’t know how you’re still here.’ Long story short, he had to cut everything back to the basics. We’ve had half a rewire. I’m giving thanks that we had a fixed price contract. Anyway, just the front door, the lights in the living room and my new oven to go and that’s it. Maybe I’ll get a bit of writing done this week.
