Sixes and Sevens Watch

Owing to the ongoing retiling project in the kitchen at Orgle Manor, the soon-to-be-ex-refridgerator has taken up temporary abode in the library. It is a decidedly discombolulating sight. Not half so discombolulating as things would have been, however, had we not discovered the very large dry-rot hole in the under-flooring which the 'fridge had sat over previously. No telling when it might have decided to head south for the basement.

Meanwhile, our handyman has discovered that although it's easy enough to get the old tile off the kitchen floor itself, the tile in the adjacent laundry room (which we're also doing), set as it is on a concrete slab, practically requires high explosives in order to be removed. The poor guy has been at it with a sledge-hammer for two days now and still isn't even half way done.

Bang goes the schedule (and the budget, probably). With the new fridge and freezer showing up on Saturday, I'm not quite sure what we're going to do.

UPDATE: The latest nooz flash is that our handyman managed to whack himself on the hand with the sledge today (I've no idea how) and may need minor surgery. Is the house trying to tell us something? UUUEERRGGGHH!! Leave my ratty early 70's kitchen tile in peeeeeeace!!!!
