It seems to be a given law of the universe that building work = problems.
Attic conversion starts:
Day 1 goes well.
Day 2 starts out well, i.e. no phone calls to me by lunchtime. Good sign.
3pm. Phone call. Problem with the new stairs. More phone calls and a resolution. Phew.
4pm. Phone call. Central heating boiler is in the centre of the house. Flue goes through the house, the attic and out. Seems the upper part of it was not replaced when we got a new heating system some years ago and it is made of asbestos! Aaaaaaaagh.
