After 2 and a bit noisy, dirty and unsurprisingly cold weeks, our new roof is complete. Just waiting for the scaffolding to be taken away so we can clean all the muck up, now. We can now also fix all the damp patches caused by the leaky old one and get the bedrooms fixed up so we can finally move upstairs.

We tried not to stare at the scary big bill for too long!

When I bought my house, I got the roof done too.
The surveyor pulled it up in the report, so agreed to go halfies with the person selling.

Win win for both of us.

We knocked most of the cost off the asking price. The whole place has been neglected and we've had to fix everything. Even the oven door was bent and there's a corresponding hole in the kitchen floor tiles that looks like someone had stood on it and tipped it over.

Goodness knows how long the previous owners were without heating but a capacitor had blown in the controller. That could have cost us anything from £50 to £120 to replace, but thankfully husband was glad of the excuse to play with his soldering iron and fixed it for £3!

Upstairs loo had to be disconnected because the saniflow was randomly flushing. That was fixed with a £3 custom cut rubber washer.

It'll be lovely when it's finished, but definitely not the sort of house for people who can't even competently change a lightbulb (we asked them to change the bulbs upstairs, before the survey, to demonstrate that they worked. They pulled the units out of the ceiling in the process, leaving something else to fix)

The roof was so obviously shot that we had a roofer check it out before the surveyor even got there.

We made some really good progress on 574 today, and fingers crossed there'll be a lot more work carried out next weekend as well.

As well as this, we're planning a three day trip away on the planes, flying on some regional carriers domestically, before certain aircraft types are retired.

I've had a good day at Fenland BusFest in Whittlesey (near Peterborough). Good selection of preserved stuff that I had not travelled on previously and nice plesent train journeys down to/from Peterborough (probably because I was in the quiet coach and not coach D where there was apparently some issues with passengers).

See, contrary to popular belief, I do actually have some good days, in fact it has been a good week this (well, mostly), no doubt it'll all go wrong tomorrow though.

There's no rights without some wrongs to balance them out.

It's been a nice day for it like, wouldn't have been good however if we had done a repeat of the X93 -- that's unless you wanted to see Pickering by diversion along the way.

Mercifully, things haven't gone as badly as previously envisaged this morning, so hopefully plain sailing from here on in.

Been a bad week on the X93, it was also diverted between Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough last Monday. Surely the best time for a repeat X93 bash is in the middle of the summer holidays

I look at this feed whenever I'm feeling sad or work pressures start to get to me.

A meeting this afternoon left me feeling this way (hence the peering out of the window looking for odd allocations on the 9), but this made me happy again.
