No more Mr Nice Guy! 04.02.13
The bathroom is really coming
along now and it’s time to fit the toilet, John asks me where the white plastic
waste is, I explain I have no idea and he tells me it was with all the rubbish
on the landing, so I ask if it was with all the rubbish that he asked me to
take to the tip, all the rubbish I triple checked was to go to the tip and John
says yes, all the rubbish except that one bit of plastic pipe!
Apparently even if I triple check
what is to go to the tip I should know not to take certain things! ARSE!!!!!!!
So we have to go to the shops again, we manage to get what we need and the
toilet is in. The new waste pipes are all connected outside and the old
asbestos pipes removed.
The house is much warmer now or so
we thought, the kitchen we have just realised is still freezing; we found this
out because I had got a pan of frozen seafood out to defrost and 5 hours later
it was still frozen!!!! Not having that for dinner tonight.
I continue to decorate the top bedroom;
even with English paint it still requires 2 coats of paint. Part way through John
declares he needs me to help him install the shower, this somehow causes world
war 3 between us, I shout that my work is not as important as anything that
John does and John starts shouting back that I knew I was supposed to be
helping with the shower.
This shouting turns into ranting and lots of swearing,
and then lots more swearing and then tears and not much ranting or speaking at
all.
We are both upset and John
apologises for being an arse, he was stressed and wanted to get the bathroom
finished, we end up not doing the shower at all tonight but at least the
bedroom is painted.
We thought we had got over the
shouting and falling out bit, but I suppose it will happen on occasion, we are
still living on a building site and no matter how easy going you are, having no
water, being cold and living in dirt will get to you, again this is not a part
that the TV programs show.
You have all the fun of making up to come Jenny. You have done so much and come so far, don't let a little row slow you both down. As for the seafood, yuck. Give me the bread and croissants instead.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Sounds too much like hard work for me!!! But I admire your tenacity!!! Your both doing a splendid job and you both know it'll be worth every second, minute, hour and day you've spent making your dream come true. Dread to think what your next challenge is ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteThank God, it's not just us :)
ReplyDeleteJenny your honesty is amazing and we understand completely, but we move on and learn from the experience. For what its worth, when it's done the pressure goes off a lot :)
Cheers
David
thanks Ray, Jacqui and David
ReplyDeletewe did get over the row, John wasn't too chuffed at me being so honest, but that is how it goes, I want the blog to be honest, so people don't follow expecting a bed of roses.
luckily the rows are far outweighed by the good times :)
