It’s been just over two weeks since I picked up the keys, and wow what an adventure it’s been so far. Where do I start…?! It started with impassable roads due to snow. At various points we’ve had no water and no heating. Water but no heating. Heating but no warm water, a tap-dancing squirrel, two roof leaks, a flood in the back of the house, a terminator field mouse (or two??), and it’s culminated in several downed trees and a power cut lasting three days so far. Thanks storm Darragh.
Calling it an adventure might be an understatement!
No blood or tears yet, but plenty of hardwork, anxiety and stress. More than a few dodgy smelling days without access to proper washing facilities but thank God for work trips with overnight hotel stays!
Did I mention we’ve also broken both the oven and the washing machine?! Yikes! I’ve had my fill of sandwiches and do miss the comforts of old but buckle up. This is clearly going to be one hell of a ride!
