It's been a bit of a diy frenzy here, lately, which is why I've not been noding, I guess... But this weekend and today we have:
  • Replaced floor joists in kitchen (to be)

    The subfloor isn't very deep and the damp-proof course between the wood and the supports had been breached in a number of places. Where the soil was against the wood, the wood, naturally, had begun rotting. Nice...

  • Had the Gas Board back to redo their, uh, plumbing.

    The two we had today quipped "did the last lot come on horseback"... They took an hour to replace what had originally taken a day to install. It looks so much better!

We were so taken with the plumber today we took his phone number...
