I'm Thinking Of Getting Cable TV

After four months of planning (or planning permission at least), today signalled the arrival of the first outward signs that the loft conversion has actually started!  I'm trying not to spontaneously combust with excitement at the prospect of both having 2 extra bedrooms and also getting rid of the mass of boxes which have taken up residence in our bedroom.....but at least the loft is clear now.

I really felt for the scaffolders today as I think it was a pig of a job and took the two guys over 6 hours, but it's all up now and ready for the building work which starts in earnest on Monday. 

There has, however, been an unfortunate side-effect of this building work that we did not foresee.  As a result of the metal cage now surrounding our house we have virtually no reception on either our Sky dish or our mobile phones.... 6 weeks without Sky.... cable here we come!!
