Plumber Jim came around Friday and did all the plumbing for the new bathroom. He also fixed the main water valve which wasn't quite working. He helped me lift the 10 ton bath tub out of the way. At which point we discoverd a very dried out birdy. First one of them for a while! And yesterday Bill and Ted Todd came around to help us move the furniture. Good grief! I had no idea our stuff was so heavy. At least now we know why when we move, it is without our furniture. They also helped me move the TTBT into the garage where I can break it up. And because all our stuff is now here in the new house, we spent our first night here. The gas man also arrived at midday so the central heating finally kicked in and we have hot water. Today, Tanya spent most of the day tidying up and making it feel more like home. We have moved into the study while the bedrooms are sorted. But the room is so big, we can also use it as the study. I have successfully removed the studs for the sliding door in the bathroom, and repaired the floor where the plumber needed to make some changes. We also put in the new lighter bath tub, but need a drain to complete the installation. So this week should see us start putting it all back together again. About time too!
