Hi all,well what can i say,was in A & E thursday morning due to shoulder strain which means now i cannot do anymore projects etc at the moment.Then to top everything of today we have had no electric for 17 hours and there is plenty of big holes in front of my front garden,in my front garden and in my back garden :((((

Hi yes they are all there still they say they cant fill them till next week now.We have complained as they have blocked one of our fire exits.Saying this i will say the workmen worked extremely hard all day to try and resolve the electric problem.

Just got to remember not to go and walk out the back door in the morning lol.At least we have power again.Just hope next week is a better week :))))))

Yes... make sure none of you trip and fall ...
Sounds like the workmen tried hard to get everything back to normal ..

Hi Mark
Sorry to hear about your shoulder and not being to do anymore projects at the moment I am in the same boat I have been on the sick for the last 2 weeks and for the next 4 weeks I have done the ligaments in my right knee and its very painful so we are behind on everything. Hope next week is better.

thats not so good mark ~ bad shoulder, no electric and giant moles digging up everything ~ is that all to fix the electric?

hope you are better soon and everything gets fixed quickly

Oh dear what a state thats in and after all the work you had put in , I am sorry to hear about your shoulder as well, no wonder you refered to it as a nightmare, nothing you can do about outside until the workmen have finished so give yourself chance to heal and sort the rest when you are up to it, that was a nice gesture from the neighbours'.....

Poor you Mark what an awful time you have all had do you know what caused the power problem in the first place?

I think you should take Lincs good advice and rest up, you can't do anything until the job is done.

We had a water problem on the verge outside, it took three strong letters, the last letter finally got us a visit from the 'big chief ' and two minions......finally sorted! The previous idiots had buried the hydrant...and our stopcock under 6" of soil then grassed it over.......

Be sure you are happy with the reinstatement, contact the CEO if you have serious problems

Blimey Mark all the troubles come at once by the looks of things, try to take things easy and give that shoulder time to improve before you start any more of you diy projects.
Nice of your neighbour to try and cheer things up a bit.

2 Mar, 2013

Hi all things are getting better just wish i knew my rights on friday night and we would not have been left in this state.One phone call today and the company could not believe the workmen had left us in such a awful state .They have now filled in the holes and placed appropriate walkways which should have been done in the first place.

Power cleaning will now have to be done again lol.

On a brighter note my job is a physical one and as i have done my shoulder in my work have allowed me to come back and work in the offices doing paperwork until my shoulder is better.Mmmm this may have to last a while and have a break lol.:)))))

You could have caused them a lot of bother Mark which the company would want to avoid, left like that is considered a hazard to pedesrians surely, brings all sorts of health and safety issues to mind.
Pleased to hear that you can be on lighter duties as regards your work whilst your shoulder heals....

4 Mar, 2013

 

Hi Lincslass yes i could have caused them a lot of trouble but i suppose it would have only got the workmen into trouble which i didnt really want to do.But its is now all sorted and finished with gardens have resumed there normal ways.

My shoulder is doing well but light duties at work is driving me crazy lol :))))
