The worm fails

Wednesday 12th of August, 2009

Another princess day. Spent the first part of the morning trying to put the worm up a blocked drain pipe. Not successfully I may add...
Decided it was all to hard and sent the machine back to the hire place. Think I will go into the hire business - seems like a good way to make
money. Had another heating dude come out - he was a bit more professional than yesterdays tool - will wait for his quote to come in - might need to
get a loan to make it happen....
Spent rest of the day - using Luke's gurney gun to remove slime from tiles and trying to put my water features around the house. I am very sore from
picking up lots of heavy things and then putting them back down again. Have to wonder what the water bill is going to be. Brad was trying to fix a washer on a tap in
the garden and broke the mains water tap right OFF... Worked out really well though as South East Water came out and fixed the broken mains
and our dripping garden tap. YEAHHHH one small win..
We also fixed the front drain pipe so that the front door doesn't look completely awful now. Brad even managed to get architraves on around the front door so that was good.
Front garden bed is a complete shambles from everybody walking on it. I almost need to erect some sort of barrier to keep them all out. Talk about the path of least
resistance.
Tried to put the retractable fly screens on the bifold doors and surprise, surprise they didn't fit. Cracked it big time and took to the couch with a large glass of red. Definately had enough of the day. Funny me sitting on the couch drinking red whilst Brad is cutting up pieces of wood for architraves in the sun room. Glad we don't have
carpet yet as we would have trashed it by now. Will have to get onto Adam - Bifold door dude tomorrow to sort out flyscreen problem.

Weird day weatherwise as was foggy up the valley all day - must say that I did enjoy my view of the garden through the bifold doors though.
