4pm July 11th - Dead Conservatory |
Finally the day has arrived and the conservatory has finally bitten the dust!
The old bugger took some taking down though - far more than I'd expected. I had envisaged a Jeremy Clarkson-like bash it a couple of times with a big hammer and watch it fall to pieces but these 1980's wooden affairs are build of sturdier stuff.
3 guys fought with it from 10:30am to 3:30pm with out a break (I even offered them teas) - oh, and did I mention that it pissed down with rain very hard from about 5mins after they started until just now. Now they've gone we've got blue sky, sunshine and I can hear birds singing.
Martin, our supervisor will come back to "mark out" the area where the groundworkers need to dig tomorrow, plus hopefully they will clear the remnants of the conservatory away.
Forgot to mention the executive "pissoir" arrived today too. The kids will have hours of fun with that!
New 2nd bathroom for Waterford Lodge |
I have a sneaky suspicion that today will be a bit of a false start as tomorrow's weather is due to be better and I know the groundworkers have a backlog of "pouring" [concrete] to catch up with due to all the bad weather - so I guess we'll see.
