    well pipes have been boxed in some tiles grouted more tiles laid :) shower still leaking :( not as much now its leaking in the corner where the 2 walls meet, theres a small gap between the shower base and the wall where the walls arn't straight, so he's going to try expanding foam behind the tiles.

    my wall isn't drying out either the outside wall, the render needs to be taken off and redoing :( outside not in the bathroom. Oh well, we will have a nice house one day :)

    He's coming back sunday to finish it, all that needs doing now is a few tiles cut and laid and the floor tiles grouted, but they cannot be done untill the leak has stopped, and the walls to dry so they can be painted

    Wow, sounds hectic Pepe! I hope things settle down for you now.

    Well, I've just emailed my parliamentary candidates for the three main parties with questions on their policies, wonder if I'll ever get a reply...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Just returned from a few miles around the fields and woods. the wood at the edge of our Village is full of violets, celandines, primroses and loads of birds singing their feathers off. Lovely.
