A cracking job!

Typical. Back to work after a rainy Bank Holiday weekend and the sun is beating down! Never mind - it's always nice to have the extra day off no matter what the weather! Last week saw Handyman Mike and Dad fitting in a few more jobs outdoors, including repairing that nasty looking crack you can see above. We were glad to be able to fit that job in, to be honest, as a wall like that with the weight of the garden bearing down on it could easily give way at any point. And, considering all the heavy rain we had on Sunday, our timing couldn't have been better!


Here Dad is, working hard again (notice how he loves to pose for our blog photos) and doing a lovely job, as ever! So, this week we're indoors laying some solid wood flooring and doing some decorating. It's a bit of a shame to be inside today but the weather is meant to take a turn for the worse so we'll probably be very glad come the end of the week! And, if it does stay sunny, we can always stop on the way home for a refreshment in a nice beer garden somewhere, to reward ourselves for all our hard work! ;-)

Fit for a King

Well, yesterday Handyman Mike and Dad finished 2 weeks work on a lovely house in Bleadon (in fact, it's more a mansion than a house!) and we're so proud of it that we thought we'd take a photo. Here's an aerial view of it, so you can get some idea of the size!


We were very lucky with the weather (only a few rainy days and breezy spells) and Dad has overtaken Handyman Mike in the race to get a tan...or maybe he just needs to wash better... ;-) Here he is on a ladder, enjoying the sunshine and the views.


In fact, it was such a nice place that we're quite sad to move on but at least the weather looks set to stay! We've got some paving and some block walling to do this week, plus we're out and about popping our leaflets through doors, so we're making the most of it that's for sure! And, hopefully, by the time we start on the kitchens and bathrooms we have lined up for next month, the weather will cool down a bit so we feel better about being indoors...
