Chalkie to the Rescue

Just before Christmas (I know, I'm really behind with this blog) Pops and Chalkie came over for the weekend to help me with the house. I thought the plan was to replace the window and door in the lounge.. Chalkie had other ideas too!

This is the wooden framed old window and door. They let a cold breeze in from the conservatory even when shut!

Something in the conservatory in the way... but not for long..

The obligatory silly pose from Chalkie..

Hahaha... Remi getting drill envy! .. and just where am I going to hang my washing now??

He should have gone to Specsavers..

Apparently that's not the FGH

Pops 'helping' (although at this point I was ironing and taking photos)

Remi would have used a sledgehammer..

Thats just showing off... anybody else would have a pile of small pieces on the floor!

Now he's REALLY showing off... cutting it in half... with a hammer!


Pops keeping busy... warming his arse!

Chalkie's 'lovely' assistant shows us the new door frame..

Chalkie puts in the window frame..

Pops still drinking tea...

Crrrraaaaaasssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!

Bless him... pretending to be Uncle Chalkie with the pencil behind his ear

Huh?!? NOT pulling a face??

Ah. That's better.

Goodness.. actually doing some work at last

Noooooooooooooo the protective film must be left on forever... always..

All done. How impressive is that!

Took the boys out for food (Packe Arms), via B+Q etc looking for ovens, as a reward for their days work (well, Chalkie's work). Meanwhile I was feeling more and more ill.
