Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

Shocking I know.

Have you finished loading that dishwasher yet, there's another load waiting.

I smashed a thin glass this morning doing an empty, typical
Good day, contact no.13 was a TR8, latest a N4

New one on me, we bought 'cabin' bread rolls from a local baker, intrigued as they look no different

of course, every socket

Getting there then

Yes sir.

Every week that goes by gets us closer to the bathroom and kitchen refurb too. When those rooms are done we'll really see progress.

We got the wallpaper stripped from the entire hall today.

The lounge & diner are due for a paper strip tomorrow and then the plasterer is due on Thursday.

I intend to bring in a decorator as the penultimate step(new carpets are last on the 'to do' list) so we'll just have to live with the rough walls for a while.

Roll on the day when we can just sit and enjoy the place!

That's good..
having worked in that line many, many moons ago,
it is amazing what can be done, as can be seen in TV progs now.
I remember working late at nights, smashing plaster off lath letting the joiners get the acrow props up etc.
I got 50p off the Boss each night so I could get a couple of pints after such a manky, dusty job.
We still have snagging issues outstanding due to situation

We will both get there, eh?

I was talking to my Belfast pal the other night so a pint in the Crown, a game at Solitude and a Longs fish supper is on the cards at some point(and an Ulster fry of course)

You'll have to admit though, you really fell on your feet for this one. Less than 12 weeks since your nighttime visits ceased to where you are now.

Any interesting(As in "I never expected to see that there") finds so far. Old newspapers with stories, long since forgotten...

You intend to finish stripping tomorrow, and get plastered on Thursday.

What you need are a pair of sun loungers, so that when the final brush stroke is done, and the last nail driven home you can lay back on them and say "This is ours now!".
Which will be in about two weeks time, the way you're going.

You got every bit out, without further damage or injury to yourself.

Gabon! and America.

You don't fancy going diving for gold.

I was partly correct! There's too many repeats on Discovery of late.

That takes me back. It must be 40 years since I last had a Longs fish supper. A pint in the Crown and an Ulster fry are in my more recent past - only about 20 years ago

'Morning folks

After a wet and windy night we have a damp, but settled, morning.

Stripping the lounge looks like a big job today. I suppose the plan will have to be to start with the walls that need reinstatement after the tracking before moving on to the rest of the room, just in case we don't get finished. I'll be glad when the plastering is done and dried as the whole rewire job has been rough.

I asked for a couple of pickled onions.. the look, I still remember THAT look
Ulster fry if I remember was Devines up the Antrim Rd....
I'll be back..

Owdo

The worst is over for now. Just don't over do the beans.

Look at it as every room done is one room nearer calling it home. Then we'll all get on our bikes for the house warming party. Don't let this bit slow you down though!

Morning??
