Our first house turned out to be a disaster area created by a DIY enthusiast. We were green. Among other botched jobs he had installed the central heating using plastic micro bore piping. The radiators started leaking black gunge. MrB.McP was up in the loft making sure the tank that fed the system was not re- filling while I was at the back door emptying radiators of the filthy sludge. No plumber seemed to have seen a system like ours ever before. With the loft and back door open and no heating it was very cold.
It's all happening next door. They are having a new fence erected. I hope the men appreciate Oz & Ruby sitting on the garage roof overseeing their work.
The people up the road are having new fencing and flagstones laid, so consequently the road’s been blocked with a lorry that brought the flagstones but stayed there, a large van that was the landscaper’s and a pile of fence panels. Getting out of the Close was like driving round an assault course and I had to go across neighbour’s driveways to get out.

Funny you should ask Nia Miss the landscapers finished two weeks ago but they had to wait for the patio cement and grouting to dry before they could put the sealant on and the weather's been wet since then, they managed it do it today along with a couple of minor jobs so now other than all the planting which is down to me it's finally done!

Forgot to say that I had a message that the greenhouse I ordered is being delivered next Thursday and I'm hoping the guy that's going to put it up can do it a few days after

I was torn with the change in the weather on one hand it meant I didn't have to water the turf but it held up being able to seal the patio. I realised when I posted yesterday even though I've taken photo's throughout the work that I haven't actually taken any since it's been finished, will take some and post them later

Yorko I've only got 'insert image' on the navigation bar and when I click that a box appears and wants me to type the Image URL with an http:// or Alt text and I don't have one because they're in a file on my laptop. It's been long while since I posted a photo and I have a feeling I had to upload them somewhere first before I could do it?

You’re more than welcome to email the photos to me, DD, and I’ll see if I can upload them here if Yorko is busy with work. If you think that’s an option, them message me and I’ll give you my email address.
