Well, this is turning out to be a house-sitting assignment with a difference! Not only are we looking after a good-sized twenty-year-old property and caring for a rather gorgeous cat until mid-January, but we are also renovating both the bathroom and the ensuite during our stay! (Perhaps I shouldn’t say we, since other than providing mugs of tea and trying to offer helpful suggestions that turn out to be anything but, I seem to be more in the way than anything else!)
As these things so often do, it started out as a conversation regarding a lever tap that over the years, had stiffened. Annoying rather than anything else, Jas was asked as a plumbing contractor how much it would cost to replace it. And from there the project grew... and grew…and grew! Overall, it’s definitely a win for the home owner as they aren’t having to deal with the dust and mess from what is essentially a rip-out when they would otherwise be coming home from work. Instead, while they are relaxing and enjoying their holiday, I am sending emails and photographs updating them on the progress.
How great is that! Coming home and knowing all the work is done – and to a very high standard of course - and wanting to freshen up after their long plane journey they can step into their new walk-in shower while admiring the modern tiling, and afterwards stand at their stone-look Corian topped vanities and make full use of their very stylish vessel basins.
You know, I think there’s a business idea here!!
