...a tale of 2 toilets...


No agility due to adverse weather conditions and heavy work load SO here's what's been going on at home ha ha!!

You know when a woollen jumper has a stray thread and you pull on it till the arm falls off the jumper and becomes completely unravelled?

Well, it all started with one very old but perfectly servicable loo that suddenly after over 70 years, wouldn't flush properly, so a mate of Grahams from the pub, came and kindly looked at it for us... filled it with hot water to clean it out and promptly broke it with a huuuuuge crack across the cystern. So now, superglued together with silicone it is now in need of an urgent replacement. At least it matches the superglued bath that the builders mixed their plaster in when we first moved here (shows how long this job has needed doing) ha ha!!

After all these years, they just don't make them like this anymore so, of course, the entire bathroom now needs to be replaced...and a whole team of helpers from the pub have chipped in. A mate from Graham's work has donated a quality new white loo and wash basin, another mate some lovely floor tiles. The loo has been fitted and today the floor was levelled as it was 2" out!! Sacks and sacks of rubble have been removed and new screed laid.

Tomorrow we get to (oh joy) go and look at baths and radiators, could Sundays get any better? But we are getting a new bathroom...of a sort ha ha!!

All because of a stray thread...
