SNAIL'S PACE

We are still here and still moving slowly, very slowly, toward completion of this house renovation. The walls have been put in upstairs and the plastering is finished. Next will be the stairwell to be put in. It came in 2 crates from Italy last May. There were no instructions for assembly but it seems that the modern method is to get it off a pdf file on the internet. Quite good actually; you never lose that piece of paper! At that time everything was unpacked and checked off. Then all the treads, bolts, bars etc have been stored under Iain's bed in the back room ever since.


The outside of the house is still not finished. Weeks and weeks go by and no sign of workmen. Someone turned up to do some work on the chimney last week. Is he finished? Is he coming back? The scaffolding sits and waits...
