Celebrity Upcycling
Celebrity Upcycling
Without naming names, it appears we have a celebrity neighbour who shares our builder Donald, doing some work on a property nearby. I haven’t met him (or her.. not giving anything away here! ..ok, it’s a him but I’m not telling you anything else!) but there are apparently a few windows being scrapped which are destined for the skip, one of which might just be a good fit for the gaping hole left by our collapsed rear window. So, before they get carted away, I head up to the rubbish pile with Donald and a tape measure and find a good candidate for a temporary window.
Installing these recycled windows is my closest brush with celebrity since I met Fred Dibnah as a child and as (width-wise) it fits perfectly in the space, we suddenly have a room with a view.
So yeah, thanks Les …aah bugger!
