Well, at last, the time has come to remove the Wendy House. The two handymen are here, Paul (the neighbour) has a visitor, so there are 5 fit guys available! Ha.
Paul is happy to come over, but he thinks it is going to rain. Sure enough, as he arrives, it is pouring down. No problem, it will only take a little while to shift it. Ed gets everything in position using the machine, and
Well, actually, no. The house was really heavy, and it took a lot of effort to get it on to the truck. It was only going next door, but it turned out to be a mammoth task! In the meantime, the rain kept falling. And boy, does it know how to rain in
The boys took it to Ursula, but then had to unload it again. It was absolutely tipping it down, but they finally managed. Then they had to get home again. Getting out of Ursula’s house is very difficult. The last time she asked anyone for tea, he had to check his diary first, to see when he had 2 day free in his diary!
Finally, they got back. Ed drove round to the back of the house, to let everyone out, but promptly bogged the truck down in the soft clay-like soil. Stuck.
The 2 gardeners left. They had left their car window open, so they had soggy seats for the drive home. (I did try to shut them, but the car had electric windows – all I could do to help, was put plastic sheets over the doors!)
Paul and his visitor tried to get the truck out. I don’t think the visitor’s red leather pumps appreciated the sticky soil! In the end, they gave up, and, the following day, Ed used the machine to get it out. It took about 5 minutes, even though he’d forgotten to release the handbrake! Right man – right tools – job gets done right!!
