Franca always says that if things are going to go wrong they always go wrong on a Monday just after I have left the country. Well this started at the weekend but took a turn for the worse on Tuesday when our drains started to play up. In fact with a full B&B suddenly a number of our waste pipes for bathes and the washining machine decided now was the time to completely seize up.
Franca gave a friend of ours, Steve who lives nearby, a call and he came round to have a look and spent a few hours draining down water that had built up in the waste pipes and clearing a block he had discovered ,(luckily not the toilets though), and recommended that we gave all the drains a good jetting. He was star to come straight round and the crisis was averted.
Then low and behold, today Steve arrives on the doorstep unannounced with Bogdan our builder and a big jetting machine to jet out our waste pipes. Better friends you could not ask for, and if you take a look at Franca's blog you can see the guys getting well and truely stuck in.
Being 500 miles away I can't thank them enough, as that was going to be my weekends work, but they cleaned the pipes in a hour or so, Bogdan having managed to borrow the machine from one of his friends. Sitting 500 miles away there are times when you feel completely helpless in this sort of situation, so it is good to know that there is help at hand should we need it. As I said on Franca's blog, who needs the A Team when you've got real friends like Steve & Bogdan, thanks guy I am in your debt....
