Not a happy camper!
Got woken this morning, (before 6 am), by water dripping on my face. I guess this means that the roof still needs fixing. And the really sad bit is that it is not actually raining. There is a heavy fog out there and it is condensing on the roof and that water is finding its way through the perished roof membrane and onto my face.
Being a seriously unhappy camper I woke Himself to complain and was told that ordering a new roof was on today's list of things to do and then he rolled over, on his dry side of the bed, and went back to sleep while I was left looking for towels and buckets to protect the mattress. Part of me is running around trying to save the one and only mattress in our home, the other part of me thinks about filling a bucket with water and tipping it on his side of the bed! I hope the sun is going to shine today, the doona is wet too.
Meanwhile the list of completed jobs is growing. The kitchen bench has again been mended and the pot drawer has been given a much stronger catch to stop it opening as we travel down the road as has a drawer in the bedroom. The kitchen sink and the shower are ready to have new silicone sealant applied today. The cupboard above the computer desk has been straightened and the water pump has been muffled. The fridge is fixed and the storage cupboards near the bathroom have nice new stainless steel rails on the shelves to stop stuff trying to fall out during our travels. All fairly simple jobs but a lot of work when added up.
