This is what happened yesterday. He put holes in our house

We have pipes

.
We have clips

. We have writing

.
This is the best place to get a phone signal if you’re on a network that doesn’t work well here

. We’ve been given a list of jobs to do before he comes back to finish off. He did other stuff but even less photo worthy than pipes, clips and writing on timber  .

We have some pipe work appearing in the house.
Lots of other things being ordered and waiting for things to arrive.
I’m hoping things are going to start picking up the pace soon and I’ll be able to start boring you all again almost daily.

Well if everyone is having rain stop play in the garden department and you fancy a challenge. Try this.
See if you can find a company that will deliver a 1000mm wide biofold shower door to the island of mull for less than the price of the door! I’ve tried several times/days/hours. And my brain is melting! Let’s not worry about hight or style. Just see if you can find somewhere. Good luck. And thank you to anyone that’s board enough to try it.

Had a little look and can understand your problem. On IOW the ferry does a system where suppliers deliver to the mainland terminal and lorry takes it on the ferry and on to delivery address. I don't suppose CalMac do the same?

I don't suppose CalMac do the same? CalMac can barely organise the ferries! We have several local Courier (based in Oban ) that all the national couriers drop off too. If the nationals are willing to go as far as Oban that is. Then we get the other jokers that insist they’re going to deliver it them selves and not hand it to a third party . Only to discover the third party has actually got our delivery. Because they’ve phoned us to let use know when they’ll be bringing it over. Which is exactly what happened on Friday with our battery for our solar panels. It’ll hopefully be here Tuesday. As of last Thursday the natural courier was still feeding us a line, they were having trouble booking a ferry. Even the company that the battery came from didn’t know where it was for almost a week until Bob told them it was with a third party courier. If it wasn’t so infuriating it’d be funny.
