We’re nearly there, again. The second plumber (first one having been dismissed from project) has been up this morning and has connected nearly all sections of the house plumbing up, so that we have taps in the kitchen and bathrooms that all work. I had a pee in the family bathroom and then was able to flush the loo, real luxury and progress.
Just yesterday we became aware, for the very first time, that we needed to pay extra for a calor gas water heater. We were a little affronted, but now we learn that the price of the house includes one water heater and we chose to have a central heating boiler water heater installed in the casita, but of course the casita is too far away from the house for hot water use, thus we needed another one. That’s another 470€ up the spout.
The new tyre for the Mazda, BTW, cost 75€, not too bad. It was in a real mess and two large holes in it that you could put your fingers through. They have renewed the tyre and inspected the wheel and found that to be OK, thank goodness.
Another hot day with temperatures in the 31 degrees area. We are learning to stay in and watch Wimbledon at the hottest part of the day. We go out early morning before it gets too hot, then we watch Wimbledon, and then if we need to go out again, we go in the cooler evening. All rather funny but sensible.
