#GoodMorningWorlds
Up early to meet today's builders and see what job they are doing today in the wetroom.
Later, a friend will be taking us across to Yorkshire to see, and hopefully buy, a car.
Last day at caretaking work for 2 1/2 weeks now, while the roof is being done.
We'll still go and take the bins out as it is less stressful to do that than to worry about the state of them after three missed collection days.
We have plumbers!
They have been shown the stop valve for the house, and are getting on with the pipework.
I knew the plumbers were due to turn off the water, so I did a bit of admin and then decided to fill the kettle. The plumbers beat me to it!
Fortunately we, and Mum, have some bottled water from the last time the water board had to fix a leak in the road.
Dammit!
The car garage can't get the car serviced in time.
We've postponed the car until Thursday afternoon, but we have no idea where we will be with scaffolders and roofers.
[Sigh]
@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social I've always found that filling a couple of camping water carriers works well to ensure that any planned plumbing task is over in under an hour.

Unfortunately, as I was too late to collect some water the works are taking longer than expected.
I can't even wash up after lunch, as I am saving what we have for tea.
@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Yep, that's the flip side. I have an uncanny habit of timing IBS flare-ups to coincide with water supply outages, which is Type 2 Fun.
@Maker_of_Things oh bums. may the stars and cars align for you.
@Maker_of_Things Oh no. This must be so stressful.
@HarrietMonkhouse
Also not fair on having a friend on standby to take us there to pick up, either.
@Maker_of_Things can they not loan you a vehicle?
@wokstation
The dealer/garage haven't sold the car to me yet.
I didn't have courtesy car cover on my insurance so I didn't get a car immediately from them. The insurer asked Enterprise to consider a loan car, but they need to be sure of getting their money back from the 3rd party that crashed into us. They were happy I was not at fault but the 3rd party/insurance wouldn't talk to them, so they couldn't loan me a car.
We'll just get a friend to take us to Bradford on Thursday to buy a cheap tow car for now.
