Jack gets over the line – just – –
Yesterday was Wendy’s birthday and her present took a fair bit of work and preparation. When she just missed out in a job interview recently she decided her consolation prize should be the bathroom of her dreams. So I set to work – –
The bathroom we inherited was functional but drab, with an ancient tub we couldn’t keep clean and uneven yellow tiles that leaked!
We sent out a request locally for recommendations of competent folk to carry out the job. In a previous post I mentioned the arrival of Tom and how we weren’t too sure.
He turned to be much more than competent in every way.
A plumber, carpenter, tiler and designer – all in one person. But more than that, anything we needed done while he was here he also did and without us asking!
He also made sure our cats didn’t end up trapped under the floor and got to know them well.
What he didn’t know was that Wendy’s birthday was approaching, but he worked until late on Monday so everything would be finished and ready.
Of course I had to add something so I painted the ceiling and untiled sections of walls before Tom arrived. The pale blue wall color was her choice but she allowed me a small hidden area of orange to make me feel better!
A&A Home Improvements are hereby thoroughly recommended!
A lovely bowl of roses arrived today for Wendy with a card from Tom – – –
