The bathroom renovation is dragging along: the tiler has finished the bathroom floor and ALMOST finished the walls but he hasn't even started on the toilet yet.
After the tiling is completed, the plasterer puts up the cornices and the plumber instals the toilet pan, hangs the vanity, and screws on all the taps. Then the glazier hangs the shower screen and the electrician connects the spa bath pump, exhaust fan, downlights, power points, and light switches. And then comes the painter for the final touch ...
The tiler has now developed a dicky knee and needs to see a doctor and possibly a surgeon. His offsider - his daughter whose name I have forgotten; I just call her 'Elizabeth Tiler', get it? - cannot carry on without him. More delays.
This renovation started before last Christmas. At this rate, I may be able to enjoy my first spa bath next Christmas!
