I love the Quasimodo one that finishes with “..but he’s a dead ringer for his brother.” (Cheers Barry!) so this week it gives me great pleasure to resurrect a wonderful old news item from the Two Ronnies – circa 1982.
“During the weekend burglars have struck at the Headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, stealing all the toilets. A police spokesman said they have absolutely nothing to go on…”
Alas – We have bought the wrong toilets……………..and have nothing to go on…
It’s not a particularly welcome feeling knowing that you have failed in the basic ordering process and you feel a complete spaz idiot that you didn’t know there are different toilets in this world (apart from Japan, of course).
Don’t worry I am a complete expert on the waste pipe connectivity options… now, and we have two new toilets on order.
And now for some good news – the lights on the rear of the house are working…
Lights 1
It may not be Glastonbury, but I like…
Lights 2
And we are ready for the bath – which will be winched into place next week.
BTW the round thing in the picture is a paint pot – not the bath – that’s a bit bigger…
...without Bath
Problems also happened this week around the underfloor heating which the tilers boys managed to break during the tiling work. No biggie – the boys managed to resource the equivalent of a puncture repair kit for underfloor heating and are back on Monday to finish. Sounds swish, but wasn’t.
Wot no tiles !
Bathroom work is nearly finished as the next two pictures demonstrate.
Bathroom 1
Bathroom 2
Finally, the lights are up in Steph’s bedroom – nice if you like that sort of thing – have a good week.
Spider lights
Happy Mothers Day…x
PS. I have two toilets for sale – never used, never taken out of the boxes, have interesting waste connections…….offers welcome…pls
