Hard labour

Took last Friday off so I could get more work done on the house. Moved 1.5 tonnes of gravel with the help of a spade and wheelbarrow; sorted out the parking bay and all the gaping holes behind it. Got three quotes from estate agents, and had the place measured for carpeting. Did some touch-up work on gaps in the architraves, skirting etc.

Saturday saw the moving of Mum and Dad from the flat to their new house; 2 loads in a 3-ton van, and a bit of extra in the car. Unpacked stuff too. Fell in to bed.

Sunday saw more work on the house. Radiators are back on, but not yet tested. Rented a two-stroke powered disc cutter to chop the top off of some posts; hot knife through butter type effect. Wanted to use it to take a post out at the front of the parking bay, but it wouldnโ€™t have been possible, and the post is bedded in several cubic feet of concrete. Therefore, the post got left in peace.
