HURRAH! MY NEW WATER TANK BURST OUT OF THE GROUND AT THE FIRST SIGN OF HEAVY RAIN, AND NOW HAS TO BE REIGNED IN!
Please note the two uses of a word that sounds the same. Even though it is spelled differently. And yet the meanings are different. But the pronunciation is the same. Both times. And in every way. Different.


Brick cladding goes in to isolate the hole from the surrounding earth.


The rebated marble sills go into the doorways..
Therein hangs a tale of woe and twattishness.
It finally took over seven weeks to get 9 pieces of marble delivered.
My fault of course.
I made the unforgiveable mistake of paying up front.
I didn't want them to deliver and catch me without cash as I have to travel quite a distance to get any.
So I paid the whole amount in advance.
Big mistake.
Only ever pay a deposit or less!
We phoned them dozens of time.
The stuff arrived in dribs and drabs.
And the last piece, for my bedroom doorway arrived 7 weeks and one day after I ordered.
And paid.
What they don't factor in is that I will never ever go there again, and will actively dissuade others from using them.
I have a black list!!!
Not all suppliers are like this here, some are excellent, but some are not!


More paths, this time for little cars....


Uh oh.
New problem. Need guttering along new verandah.
