Handy Men!

We have discovered water under the house which seems to be coming from the shower above. There are some tiles that need re-fixing and re-grouting in the shower so we headed off to Bunnings  (Australia’s B&Q) for supplies.There was an awning outside the entrance and a local hockey club were selling sausage sandwiches to raise funds for their club. They certainly had chosen a good pitch. We could hardly get our trolley in the door for the mass of over-weight sausage sandwich munchers standing around. A sports club encouraging obesity to their own ends...splendid!We got some tile adhesive and grout and some paint for the walls under the house and went back to sort out the shower. After taking the loose tiles off the wall Will found a small reservoir of foul black water in the gap beyond. He drained it as best he could and we realised we were going to need some waterproof sealant as well. So we headed back to Bunnings.The sausages were still proving popular. Inside it did appear that the majority of customers wandering around were generously proportioned. I wondered if they were genuine dedicated Do-it yourself-ers or had just been attracted by the sausages. We went to the self-service till and the supervising attendant wandered over.“How’s it going guys?” she said.“Very good” I said.“You still doing up that old house?” She had absolutely no idea what we were doing but shook her head then leaned closer,“There are some good looking guys in here today,” she said, “a few work here too!”“It’s a good place for perving then?”  said Will joining in.“Yes, I’ve got my special perving glasses on’ she said.I felt like saying ‘Excuse me! I find you impertinent! Are you suggesting we would be interested to know that there are good looking guys around? Just because a fellow purchases something cylindrical to fill a crack! How very DARE you!”We took our silicone and left!
