A comforting supper of vegetable soup, then the last of the caulisprout cheese accompanied by triple-cooked beef dripping chips.

I have to photo the car I'm driving as well as the level. Have access to several cars, types, colours. Total pain at the parking payment for a confused old twerp.

That's awful. Get a mean lawyer, is your carpenter on "trick a trade" or similar? Just post that you are engaging in litigation - people will read between the lines.

The local blockage has been resolved - well dissolved.
Someone put something down the pan that should not have gone there.
Had to take the deck outside up to access an inspection point. My earlier, obsessive map of the access points helped. God, I am somewhere on a spectrum.
Impressed by the fact I could locate the access point. The pressure washer dealt with the problem in moments. Amazing torrent of detritus that must have been filling something under the house ensued.
Rodded, prodded, probed and pressured all the pipes. We are now clean around the bend.
Free and frank with the management about what can and cannot be considered flushable. Also insisted that she helped in the process. The £500 starting point a friend mentioned for a drain clean helped focus her mind.

Time to bank the fire for the night and hobble off upstairs to bed.

We haven't paid him anything, and won't. The stair company are actually charging us less for refitting anyway, so we won't be out of pocket.
He's done some good work here since last summer, including a very complicated repair to the wooden porch, although he's rather messy, never takes any rubbish away, and I've caught him doing some stupid things like trying to remove silicone sealant with wet wipes, using an impact driver into oak with no pilot hole (instant split) and lacking some knowledge of structural matters. But you're only as good as your last job, and he obviously doesn't understand stairs.

Morning.
I went to bed early last night. I was dead tired and went to bed at 9. I went to sleep straight away but woke up in the night and couldn't get back to sleep as I couldn't get comfortable, my joints were aching. I'm feeling a bit drunk this morning.

Why would you want to move house?
Last time we moved was a right fiasco! We told the removal man that we would need a really big van. He assured us that it would be big. It turned out to be a long wheelbase Transit! He eventually brought another 2 small vans. We were supposed to be out by Mid day, we finally left before 5. Some of our stuff went into storage and were told we could gain access whenever we wanted. Like Hell we did! When we finally went to collect our stuff I found that it was all piled up in a barn. My best bike at the time was underneath everything.

On the brighter side, my loo dilemma is resolved.
Required taking part of the decking up to gain access to an inspection hatch. The problem was very evident and not very pretty
2 minutes with the drain cleaner attachment on the pressure washer and things were running freely.
A free and frank with my fellow resident about the need for a full flush and the now obvious risk of " saving water" ensued
There is a cold front across the area at the moment.
