Day 288. Pete+Pete

Pete the bricklayer takes away some of our excess blocks that have been cluttering up the front garden for... well, months. Quite what else he got up to I'm not sure as we were out... more plastering I think. It looks like Tim was around a bit, as he has fixed a batten to the cabinet in the kitchen and boxed in the pipes that Pete tPP has moved into the corner of E's bedroom-to-be. No tiling... the tiler only works certain says, it seems.

Bob came around at 6 to talk to a painter-to-be; but he didn't turn up. So Bob promises us his, instead. Next monday apparently. A good talk with Bob otherwise. Point out that water has been coming in a bit at the new front door in all this very wet weather; the gutters are on order and will arrive in 2 weeks sez Bob. A bit frustrating as they could have been on order, and indeed fixed in, a month ago.
