First the outside drain was blocked and we had to get it unblocked. Then the kitchen sink was blocked and we had to get it unblocked. Then the shower tray was leaking. Repaired. Problems with shower drain - new pipe and wall repair. Shower burst and poured water everywhere. Replaced. Boiler not firing. Fixed but in the process discovered not enough m/bars getting to the boiler. Blockage in pipe to boiler. + half of it is lead and no longer allowed. Wrong gauge of pipe to boiler. Need to replace run of pipe from metre to boiler - 30feet? + under floor.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
What next?
Arghh, sounds like a nightmare to test anyone's patience ... I hope you will see some light at the end of the tunnel soon.
Ahhh yes but think on the positive side Grawc.... you got those gorgeous babies too. ;)
Ah forgot to mention the tiles falling off the wall round the bathroom window? Got in a tiler who fixed it but they're falling off again....
Then there's the damp area beside the new double glazing at the back door.... and the downstairs loo window which will only lock when it's open....
I'm actually beginning to find it funny! Come back Job all is forgiven.....
It is maddening when this happens. This is the way of things sometimes, - It never rains but it pours. Last year my sister went on a decorating spree in her house, and as soon as they began, it was like the domino effect in every room, one by one things started to go wrong, mainly totally unrelated to the decorating. Almost as if the house was objecting to the upheaval. :-\ busy_lizzie
Times like that i think about selling. ???
but then i think about moving :o & get on with the jobs
months like that, only one thing to do...
TAKE THE CHOCLAT CURE

I actually forgot about the nice person who wanted the GT badge off the side our car. Not content with taking it s/he used it to scratch right along one side of the car. Oh joy!

God, what a time you are having! But seriously don't listen to those tempting you to chocolate, Anne, I'm getting worried when I read in your original posting
Quotediscovered not enough m/bars getting to the boiler
those "m/bars" aren't MARS BARS are they - are you seeing/wishing chocolate bars everywhere??
What are m/bars???
Hey wicker ,
You should know better than to get between a GRAWMENTOR and her chocolate ;D ;D ;D
Wicker I believe it's a measure of the pressure of gas arriving at the boiler.
Adam, thank goodness for that! :-* BTW re "formerly known as...you know who" I'm just lulling them into a false sense of security before the chocolate egg testing starts. ;)
Misty will do! Thanks!
Lishka! Indulged in chocolate cake yesterday in response to your excellent advice 8)

Please let's not laugh at misfortune :(.....but.....
