Sealing a Ceiling
We came back from Scotland to find a nicely repaired wall and ceiling - thanks Gary.
I set about lego'ing up a mock hearth using some of the bricks from the old fireplace and some left-over tiles from the kitchen. The necessary dimensions required (850mm x the same) meant that the hearth would overlap the radiator feed by about 200mm. We had a long discussion about moving (even removing) the radiator.
"We won't need a radiator when we've got a log burner", I said.
"I'm not going to always light a fire when I'm cold!" came the terse reply.
Our neighbours came round for a drink and suddenly the whole thing dawned on me when the very concise statement was made:
"What is the point of spending several thousands of pounds when you're not actually going to use the blessed thing? Anymore wine in that bottle?"
And that was that. The last straw has finally been loaded onto the camel...
The bricks are going down the tip, the TV's being moved back to the corner, the tiles are going back under the cupboards, the hole in the carpet is being covered with a rug (err, maybe not) and the cats are going to get a thorough vacuuming.
