A good excuse to read all day...

The men came to begin installing the new boiler yesterday.  They took the old boiler out of the kitchen & all the cylinders & tanks out of the loft, too.  So, that meant no water or heating all day (though thankfully they reconnected the gas in the afternoon - so Bud & I camped out in the lounge with the gas fire on as it was freezing.)  We've had no central heating or hot water overnight (as there's no boiler! LOL) but hopefully they can install that today. There was also a hiccup when they must have disturbed some wiring in the loft because the circuit for all the lights blew & they couldn't get them back on. Luckily, the electrician was able to come back & sort it out - although this was at about 5.30 so we were using lamps & torches for a while! LOL

I'm envisioning another day of just camping out in the lounge, reading & trying to stay out of their way.  I don't like having my routine disrupted - I can't do my normal stuff! - but I'm making a real effort to be zen about it all & am actually coping quite well & not stressing out (even when we had no lights! LOL)

Just off to take Bud out now.  It's cold & raining, so I'm hoping the gas will be on when we get back!  (Or it's the emergency fan heater again! *g*)

Oh, & in much worse news - no new Spn this week!
*sob*

Happy Tuesday, folks!
*hugs*

Yeah, it's funny how the whole house seems to get affected (even rooms they're not working in! LOL) The boiler is all done now & we're toasty warm. Of course, the kitchen renovation (in Jan) will likely take longer & be even messier, but it'll be so great when it's done. *fc*
