Bonus/Surprise!

Still no carpenter, nor plumber, but I got a surprise bonus: we've got a plasterer!

I was a bit worried that this car was driving around very slowly [there's only our house & Isabelle's next door, and it had been past a couple of times], so I "braved up" & went out to see what was happening. A man was reading the Building Permit, and I thought "Oh, no! Please don't let there be any problem with it!", as we vividly remember seeing a house in the next village being built, only to be demolished just after it was finished as it lacked the necessary permission!

Turns out that he's one of M. Mekki's men; he doesn't know what exactly he's doing...

Not as bad as it sounds, as he's waiting for M. Mekki to arrive to tell him.

Hopefully he's just measuring up for materials (which is what he thinks probable), as the absence of wood to which he can attach his metal rails will stop him putting up any plasterboard!

Watch this space...
