Oh, fun - not.

Thanks Anna & Randi.

Well, day one is over and it hasn't been too bad. Bob did bark a lot but there were lots of quiet times too. In fact given the length of time, 7.45am until 4.45pm, he was very good.I put Ebby in the crate and tied Bob to it.

Clever babies! One day down - not long to go!
Let's see that good behaviour tomorrow again sweeties.

Ebbys 'apartment' this morning.

and this evening.

I think she's saying 'what is all that stuff doing in my room!'

They will be back tomorrow to, hopefully, finish off the heating. When the guy will be here to put in the new fire surround I don't know.
Anyhow, it's camping out in the living room for Ebbs, Bob and me tomorrow, which maybe marginally better because it's a lot bigger room.

p.s. why is it that tonight, given that I have no heating, is the coldest for quite a while? No hot water either, boiling it up on the stove and in the kettle to use for washing pots and oneself brings back many memories.

What good little babies they were!

Boiling water, isn't that just lovely Hopefully you won't have to do it for very long!

Watching Bob in the video being such a good boy. The sounds in the
background remind me of the few days this summer when I had the house
re-shingled & new siding put on. It was very noisy & I'm so glad it's all done
now. I do hope they finish up quickly for you.

I've been thinking about you Chris. I don't know about you, but we had a touch of frost last night. How has the work gone today?

[Logan]

I hope this nightmare will mean many warm days for you all, Chris. How is it going????

[ChrisH]

Thanks for asking guys. Today went ok, even pretty good I guess. Got heat and hot water now. Ebbs and Bob were good today, now the ch guys have finished their part of the work Bob even went as far as giving them his ball to play, bless him.

Anyhow, tomorrow another set of workers will be here to rip out the hearth and fit a new fire surround, the electrician may turn up too. So I think I am going to have to crate poor Ebby again so I can put Bob in her room out of the way, I also have a grocery delivery between 11 and 1 and I can't cope with both holding Bob and putting the groceries away.

I am getting more than a little stressed out now, especially as I seem to be spending most of the late afternoon evening cleaning up the mess and moving things back & forth, taking that crate back upstairs ready for tomorrow nearly finished me.

Off now to get a bath and wash my hair (hooray for hot water! )
