Working under difficulties
To spare you the boring details, the two
pictures below are a/
#1 so n and DIL - still
afloat after 25 years.
And b:
Our guilty secret up
in the attic. When M – our decorator /
handyman was painting the large box in the smaller room I told him to open it. When he did so and saw the awful bath I could
see Acid Bath Murders flitting
through his mind. As I told him, our
predecessor – the dentist - was an amateur photographer and used the room as
dark room with the bath used to dip his prints in. M suggested we borrowed his skeleton - normally used to decorate floats in the Bridgewater Carnivals and put it in the bath.
I wonder if it would
be too frightening for the grandchildren?
They are working on
the stairs just now and it is quite an experience trying to go up and down without
using the banister - which is wet.
MTL to M:
Don’t get paint on the carpet or Pat will kill you.
M: If I get paint on the carpet I’ll kill myself”

Your pictures make me think that the swimmers opted to bathe in the ocean rather than the old bathtub. LOL Sounds like your handyman is serious about his work.
Seriously congrats to your kids on their 25 years together,
Nice juxtaposition between the clear, blue water and scruffy tub. You're an artist!
Can't get the video to work!
Grannie Annie: thank you. They have two great children (well I would say that wouldn't I) both doing well at Uni and they deserve a break.
UB: it takes one to know one.
John: it's that gremlin again. There isn't a video - just two photos.
Big gremlin. Not a photograph to be seen. I'll come back after work and lo and behold there will be images. :) So glad you are almost done.
Now I see them. Lovely folks floating in that really big tub. Simply marvelous tub too. I went to a lot of work to get one of those, and that one looks bigger than mine. Really nice. :)
Mage: glad you got there in the end.
I can only think the bath was for the maid or 'tweenie' as it is in the attic. And there it will stay:) Heaven knows how we would ever move it.
That bath does look creepy. :D
I'm assuming the decorators are using dust sheets and masking tape so they shouldn't be getting paint on the carpet!
Joey: yes to both of those and they clean up after themselves.
We are the ones most likely to lurch against a painted door or clutch a wet hand rail but no accidents so far.
