Water in all the wrong places
So… last night the rain started. Why, when it has been dry and sunny for months on end, does the bad weather start as soon work on our roof begins.
We’re still without water - the pump went back to the shop (an hour drive away), but the owner of the shop is on holiday until next week - and back next tuesday. They found the fault with the pump, but can’t replace it without the say so of the shop owner. Can I just clarify - this is a brand new pump, which was faulty when we bought it, and under Czech law the businesss owner can take their sweet time fixing the problem. Leaving us without water yet again. So… we now have a team of 6+ roofers on premises, with no supply of clean water.
Last night we managed to feed our 5 guests - and find an extra bed. The accommodation is basic: two rooms with two beds, two chairs & two lamps, but we also have a sofa bed in the kitchen and one further upstairs room. Everyone ate. We coped with washing up afterwards. Given the water situation, things are okay. We thought that they would be here during the week and travelling back home at weekends, but they are working through the weekends for the next few weeks.
This morning they started work at 5.30 because the van arrived with the scaffolding. I wonder what hours they’ll work? It’s now 7.30 and I’ve already been out taking some last minute ‘before’ photos of the roof:
