Just call him Craig
Just call him Craig
More imported labour with a thing for Crocs footwear..
Craig flew over from Sydney last week and was given an air mattress, some of Greg's old clothes and 10days to landscape our "pub garden" (despite no real previous experience).
Introducing Craig Covich
Quote: "No wine thanks, I'm on the job".
Hobbies: cutting corners and going to Wickes to buy screws.
Over the last 10 days we saw 3 things happen:
1. Not wanting to bunk with Craig, Mr Nicholas completed his new room - "the dungeon".
2. Craig revolutionised our garden
More on this in the next blog (it deserves its own post)...
3. And we all learnt some new skills

Along came Mr. Nicholas
Our expert builder has arrived!
He drove all the way from Brittany with a van full of tools and a pair of crocs, rearing with excitement to do some plastering and go for a £3 big breakfast every morning.
Father and son have been working hard, and have managed to make our spare room look a little more like an actual room. They've been very productive despite a schedule revolving around them telling each other off, laughing their heads off, having a break, telling each other off again, another break, thinking, then telling each other off again.
Introducing Mr Michael Nicholas
Quote: "Plastering is the one thing you can do intoxicated"
Hobbies: likes to unwind reading model magazines
Meanwhile I've become my mum, cleanin' and bunging things into the oven to keep the workers happy.
(I've cooked fancy meals too but desserts are more photogenic)

All in!
All moved in! We've had our first visitors (Edie helped with a bit of light drilling, and we managed to squeeze in an scone + 80s dance party ) and started prettying up the place ahead of the massive kitchen/bathroom/spare room/garden overhaul soon to come.
