One day two weeks ago there was a knock on the door and a whole team of handymen stood ready outside to all of a sudden, without notice, fix our "swollen" floor. About time really, our front door has been sticking forever, leaving us to rugby-tackle it to get in; and the kitchen floor has been like a rolling hill.
They got right onto it, and it didn't take many hours before we realized - we would be having take-away that night...
- and the following night... and many more...
Ha ha, what a sight to come home to! It felt like we were squatters in some abandoned house about to be demolished. We walked around with shoes on inside trying to keep out of the way, and there was that fine layer of dust covering everything, both downstairs and upstairs.
But eventually, new tiles were installed and the door could open properly again. I wouldn't say the floor is completely 100% level (...), but it's much better, and after a good afternoon family session - the house was also clean, and all our living space reclaimed again!
Now I hope there will be a while before the next early morning handyman invasion..!
