A week of ups and downs

We lost an electrician, just when we'd set a date to move in. All the wiring is done, but we have no lights in the kitchen, dining, lounge or hall and no hob or oven wired up ..... a seaming mis understanding, apparently he told Mark he wasn't available for some weeks after his holiday but Mark doesn't remember that, he didn't tell me that but what can you do ????? suddenly it was looking like we might have to move the moving date only a few days after we had set it.

'The man from the Council' .....
Mark challenged the 'man from the council' about the underfloor heating in the wetroom and I really didn't think he would change his mind. What I hadn't figured on was his ability to resist Mark when Mark got in full flow. Sure enough he's agreed to speak to the contractors about putting it in. I stand corrected!!!!

This evening we met a new electrician, a young guy working hard to build his own business, taking time out to continue training with the constant changes in regulations .... he's our saviour this week. Recommended by our plumber, he came and had a look at our half finished job, didn't make a fuss about anything, happy to finish off the job for us, which many wouldn't have done, so we're extremely pleased that moving date .... June 25th .... is still on. Scary!!

Tonight Mark is poorly, am sitting waiting for the emergency Doctor to arrive.  I had a phone call from the emergency services saying it could be 3 hours before they arrive ... it's 23.55 now.  It's going to be a long night.
