Not as Bad as Things Seem

Thought that I'd better reasure those of you who thought that we were about to slash our wrists. I (in particular) have been a bit tetchy with the delays in arriving at a position where we can start doing things in the house.

The offending water pipe has been 'rescued' until such time as the men from the 'Water' can come out to replace the stop tap which seems to be rusted solid. As you can see the flood has dried up.

Also we are now in a dry spell and fortunately the road is drying up also.

Today, we had the plumber here working putting the pipes in where the ground floor is going to be concreted. Whilst we were talking to him it came out that he can't fit the under-floor heating until the walls where we will be putting insulation and plasterboard are all finished. We were stunned. This means that he can't fit the heating in the kitchen/dining room and the ground floor bedroom and shower room until we've at least done the walls. The same thing applies to the lounge on the first floor. Looks like we've got to go turbo-charged!!!
