I thought I could relax and chill out after Crufts for a good few days before going back to my training routine again, obviously I am very wrong!!
Many of you know that we plan to convert our existing garage into a study room for the kids just after Christmas, we wanted the study room to be ready by Easter when the kids are back to stay for a month from their Easter break. Unfortunately, there were so many unforseen circumstances and we have to keep delaying the job. Out of a sudden, we had to start work on Monday!!
Yes, we are doing the job ourselves! With my friend Jim's help, two of us are going to make this happen!! Luckily we got a handyman to help lighten the job by breaking the concrete and digging the footing. We hire a breaker from the hire shop and bought some bits and pieces and we spent yesterday and today breaking the old tatty concrete up and dug 3'3" footing to put the window to replace the garage door. The handyman is very good, he is a very hardworking guy, Jim and I help to move the rocks into the skip and blimey! I need lots of Nurofen and Paracetamol to survive from ache and pain!!
Guess what? I missed going training but with this council people popping around, I have to be there to entertain him while he inspects the job process!! We have finished breaking and digging, and we are waiting for the skip company to pick up the skip to allow the concrete lorry to come in. At this waiting time, we are going to do some battening work!!
The house is like hell at the moment, we have to move every single thing out from the garage and pile them in the house, the poor five shelties have no room to run around and Sing is very upset as he cannot play ball indoor!!
