Day 171 Money Pit

18th January 2018

The bath came out today, the tiled wall is no more, and even the electrics have been de-commissioned, so in less than a month I have knocked a hundred thousand pounds of the value of the place.

” It will look perfect once it’s all done” said Andy the plumber, shouting over his drum and bass soundtrack. “I bloody hope so” my optimism weakening with every piece of plaster that I knock off.

Of course my trip to the Trowbridge tip ended in disaster, BECAUSE IT WAS THURSDAY, AND IT IS CLOSED ON A THURSDAY.

However I learned that the site at Bower Hill in Melksham was open Thursday and Friday, but I just couldn’t be bothered to do it today.
