Day 2402 It happens all the time.

11th March 2024

I was expecting the boiler to be serviced today between eight and twelve, I decided to do some CAD work whilst I waited. After completing a tricky design problem, it had gone past ten, I decided to make the last two frames and finish that part of the project. When I finished it was coming up to twelve with no sign of the boiler man.

I then put all the stuff back into the shed and did a bit more computer work.

As the clock passed one, I called the office.

I was told that the service man had knocked on the door and got no answer. My response was that I could see my front door all morning and no one turned up. There were many apologies and a promise to reschedule. The girl on the other end then put me on hold whilst she tried to contact the technician, a few minutes later she told me he would be with me in five minutes.

The guy staggered up the path telling me they had given him the wrong address. I get that all the time, remember my new phone debacle?

Anyway he got on with the task, and I waited for him to finish.

As soon as he left I drove over to Wickes to get the feather board, and they had plenty of the stuff. I loaded up the truck and drove back, unloading five bundles and carrying them up the steep slope ready for the next part on the project.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
