Can it possibly rain any more???

After Craig's efforts to dig out the driveway, not a lot has happened....too wet!!! We need to level the ground and then order the hardcore, but can't level it at the moment....the leveling plate will just splash everywhere to no effect other than shower mud over South Birmingham!!

But, this hasn't stop to further prospective buyers poking round the place, but no offers yet. web page looks lovely (house), and we just need to hold our nerve through the bad weather, and hope that soon the sun shines on us!..................Please!!!

But on top of this....that gas man is a gonner if I ever meet him again. New Gas man has said we need lintel above the fireplace and a bigger hearth to comply with regulations. Why couldn't that bloody man have told us that months ago. He's been in and out of that house since before we even bought it! When did he think it was a good time to tell us this??? Guess that's why he's become invisible...............idiot! I dread the day the new guy is coming. We have to take out the whole thing, surround and all, they fit the lintel and 'make good', but I suspect we'll need to do a bit of filling and painting again....we thought we were through all that!!!! nightmare...not to mention the extra £450!!!!

I'd name the flipping gas man we had, but it would do no good..............I'll just stalk him probably!!!!

we'll keep our fingers crossed - and if you email the name of the gas man we'll put it out across the internet somehow....!!!
