Day 3

This week the house has had more tradesmen in than the yellow pages. The list includes, but is not limited to:

4 builders

3 tree surgeons 

3 glaziers 

2 Sky technicians

2 decorators

2 window cleaners

A man with a pressure washer who cleaned the patio

A plasterer

An accountant

and

An IT consultant.

The constant interruptions, disconcertingly loud crashes and having to break every hour to provide tea, hardly make it the ideal conditions for concentrated effort. However, I can't deny that there is a sort of things-getting-done, progress-being-made atmosphere in the house that is usually absent. 

*UPDATE* - I've since been reliably informed that there were six individual Sky technicians, over four visits.
