The continuing saga of life on a building site

[rich_jacko]

I've just picked up half of my ceiling from the stairs.

Regular readers may remember that my place has been surrounded by scaffolding since the middle of August.

It was nice of the builders to tell me what day they were going to rip out the old skylight, so that I could move stuff/put down dust sheets/close all internal doors and generally minimise the amount of cleaning I would have to do afterwards. Except they didn't do that.

I've chucked out all the chunks of rubble that were big enough to be hazardous to life and limb. The smaller bits and the post-apocalyptic layer of black dust that's covering half my flat can wait until they've finished putting the new skylight in.

Oh, and the scaffolding's now got so extensive it's blocking my TV aerial and I can't get any of my Freeview channels :o(

Mind you - if you attach an aerial lead to the scaffolding it'll make a fantastic AM/FM receiver. ;-)

Says the man who turned HM Prison Ranmoor's central heating system into his own personal radio antenna :)

Heh - I did the same at Waveney Terrace (rip) if you recall :-)

Yes, I remember him doing that...
