... to fix the monumental stuff-up with the spa pump.
Instead of leaving enough space inside the hop to position the pump right alongside the bath, he solidly bricked it all in and left the pump sitting on the carpeted floor in the adjoining sitting-room.
When I went down to his shop during the week to tell him what a tosser he was and that I really had no plans of turning my sitting-room into a pump-house, he said, "Oh, that was only temporary to test it," and that he would be back to put the pump in its rightful place. So now he's back, hammering and cutting out big chunks of TEMPORARY bricks to make room for the pump behind the wall.
Reminds me of a German fairytale of the "Schildbürger" who forgot to build windows in their houses and tried to carry light in big sacks into their homes....
