The Chill Out Zone

[stevestrat]

Morning from a rather parky Scotland. Sunny but no heat in it. Sorry Rod but the heating is on the timer, just to take the chill away morning and evening.

It is a BEAUTIFUL morning out there now - sunny, blue skies, fresh & Autumnal. SWMBO wants to go shopping for new towels and various other bathroom accessories - oh pure unrestrained joy. She was less than impressed when I suggested we could hang the toilet roll on the shower door handlewith a bit of string

You should put a 6 inch nail in the door,ready to hang pieces of newspaper on it.

Cheapest option plus the added bonus of a good read whilst on the throne

Last pic I posted took 12 hours to appear, posted one last night which still hasn't surfaced nearly 24 hours later!

I've found out the reason behind the delays in posts with pics appearing. The forum is part of the Airfix website and the (one and only) moderator is an Airfix employee who, obviously, works office hours Mon to Fri! Anything requiring a moderator outwith those hours has to wait.

Don't do what my father did when they got the new shower fitted. My mother wanted a shelf for soap etc so my father went to fit it. Drilled a hole . . . . directly below the shower unit . . . . yep, into the water pipe! We heard a roar from the bathroom and found my father standing with his finger trying to stop the horizontal fountain shooting across the shower. I turned the water off, after I managed to stop laughing. The plumber, a family friend, was highly amused as well.

Don't mention doors - she wants to change that too.
Talking of 6" nails -the one thing that was of interest over the past week or so was the quality standards of the original house builder (Wimpey, early 1970s). There don't appear to be any screws (the threaded type) anywhere in the house - everything was put together with those 6" nails. In addition, they didn't bother plastering behind the bath and various fitted cuopboards etc. - on dismantling, we were straight into bare breezeblock.
The best part (from my point of view) of the new suite is that the loo has a soft close seat - it can't crash down and discomknockerate you
