Catch up time

Yet another week has passed. We're now living in John & Penny's cottage for the next few weeks. This is ideal as it is literally across the road from our house and we can pop across to be with the dogs more often. Sucha is now starting to play up and be naughty (Millie has been naughty since the day we got her). Sucha has always punished us if we've gone away on holiday eg peeing in the house - now she is starting to be disobedient so we know we are in trouble!
After the plaster disaster of last weekend we are waiting for the next calamity.
The man from ChemDry came back on Wednesday and put in even more machinery - the house is incredibly noisy now. He says the spare room is almost dry but the brickwork on the stairs, now visible after the plaster came off, is sopping wet. He estimates that it will take at least another month before the house may be dry - this will be 3 months after the flood!
Thursday - Rob from B&W came to check out the damage uncovered - he was quite reassuring and says they will completely replaster the hall and it will be 'as good as new'.
I had a call from Wayne, the kitchen designer to ask if we have chosen tiles for the hall floor yet - I tell him that, as we have no idea of when we will get the drying certificate I haven't even thought of interior decoration yet. We agree that I will call him next week to arrange to look at colours etc.
