The builder comes up trumps - but we pay
(That'll have any non-British visitors baffled!)
Our builder came to our rescue this morning, accompanied by Simon the joiner.
My good friend Hubert and I added more insulation to the loft. The builder exposed part of the wall showing the damp proof membrane in the floor and the insulation in the wall. Simon has fitted the fire-proof door, and we are waiting for advice from the building inspector about toughened glass and whether we can use safety film.
So today looks much brighter than yesterday did!
The drawback is that we have had to pay over £700 to get it sorted. But at least we get moving.
(to "come up trumps" is to do something very positive and helpful in an awkward situation)
