And it’s only 20:31 too!
I’ve had a hectic few days, as I said yesterday, and it’s going to be continuing tomorrow too.
I managed about 5 hours or so at the side of the road and after yet another uneventful drive I ended up being back here in time for lunch.
This afternoon we carried on working but we have hit a logistics issue. Our little tile cutter isn’t good enough to cut the tiles for the terraces. We need a professional one and to hire one for three days, it’s €250!!! Exactly the same machine is on offer at Screwfix for £199.99 and the Eurotunnel have day trips for €90 just at the moment.
Hence yours truly is up at 07:00 tomorrow and he’s booked on the 10:45 crossing to Folkestone, where there is a Screwfix depot.
I’m not half getting about these days. Rather like the sailor who joined the navy to see the world. Except that in my case, I joined the navy to let the world see me.
But won’t that actually end up costing you a fair bit more? Sorry, not really up on £ vs. Euro. But you’ve got your petrol to add in and on that subject, a word of warning. It’s bl**dy expensive over here! Still, at least you’d own the cutter and could rent it out when you get back home.
I think he’s figured that, looking at the rental price. 199GBP is about 300EUR I think. Add fuel and it’s another hundred or so but he should get all that back on the first rental. Of course, it has to last more than 3 rentals to pay for all the bother.
Now you’ve both got the idea 😉
And as well as that, Terry does a fair bit of DiY for other people too.
Ah I see, it’s all part of a master plan! Well, I hope it works out for you.
