Ouch! I awoke this morning thinking I was at the Dentist...ZSSSSSSSSSshhhh!!!!!!! you know that awful blood curdling sound of drills going in for the kill to fill a tooth, or a tree surgeon sawing through a big tree trunk. It was an unexpected assault on my poor sleepy ears. There was no escaping from it as it was right above our heads. The stucco fellows had come early to begin the work on the chimneys.
The house was rocking but t.g. not rolling!! But for the grace of God, we could be living in a leaning tower now. Apparently the five big pillars supporting our home for nearly 100 years were rotten to the core...agh!! Picture the scene. The carpenters said it was a miracle our house had not sloped sooner and they had caught it in the nick of time...money money money!!!!!!! We only signed up for a simple paint and roof job!
And then the windows - who would have known? We had some 10 broken windows in the house. I'd noticed 2 or 3 but once the window fellow started, there was no going back...broken windows began putting their hands up and screaming 'Me too!' 'Me too'. The disintegrated chimneys joined the rebellion. Now the bloody electrical system is screaming for attention and the switches are trippin' with all this activity. Yes take a deep breath Patricia Breathe... deeply...and as I breathe deeper to stay cool, calm, and collected, my poor patient long-suffering husband has no choice but to dig deeper into his pockets...breathe deeply Kevin whoosh...!! whoosh...!! This too shall pass my darling.
Choo Choo while I make a cup of relaxing tea!
Love,
Patricia xxx
