ELECTRICIANS

The electrician was here today as part of the kitchen project. Electricians have the most difficult job in a building project, in my view, since they tend to do things in small bits. A builder builds a wall for a whole day, and then rings the electrician and asks him to put in a socket somewhere, which probably takes five minutes. Then he is sent away again.

Anyway, I was very pleased that he did come. He put cables under the floor of the TV room, so that we can hang the TV on the wall. He put a light in the shower above the shower head, a job which has been pending since we built the new bathroom in 2002. And he fixed the wall socket in the bathroom, which had a tendency to come out whenever the vacuum cleaner was attached to it.

All in all, a good day's work.
