E-Day + 84

Most of the electrical work is finished - only the uplighters in the decking need to be done, but the weather is bad again - after a dry morning, it's been bucketing down all afternoon, and the sky is so grey it looks like it will last forever. Really depressing weather, more like Belgium than Ireland!

And Stephen the carpenter has started putting up the doors, after doing more work on the decking this morning while it was dry. He's got a couple more days' work to finish the doors and skirtings, I'd say. There was no explanation as to why he wasn't here yesterday.

And Ray the plumber didn't turn up. David tried to contact him this morning but couldn't get through. Then Kevin apparently managed to talk to him and he promised he would be over "within the hour" - that was around 11 this morning (it's now nearly 6!). Somehow, we knew he would not turn up. It's really annoying - without him, Brendan's bathroom can't be completed and my front office still has a loo and a sink in it - not very practical! Its frustrating to be so close to having it all finished, and to be held up by a tradesman not turning up.

No pictures today, the place looks too messy!
