Our neighbour, runs the beautician's parlour next door but one. This will be very convenient for an old duck like me - beautiful aromas waft out into the street and transports passers-by into other worlds! She mentioned the other day that garbage had been left out the back in bags and that her garbage bin had been filled with carpet and gyprock. I had the feeling that she may have thought that our builders were responsible for some of it. So today, I donned rubber gloves and did an "Alice's Restaurant"...this will have meaning for baby boomers. It was the most wonderful film staring Arlo Guthrie. Early seventies. Low and behold, amidst all the kitchen waste, I found DOCUMENTS which, not only had the perpetrator's names on them, but their car registrations as well. Interestingly, the culprits were not from the leased apartments on the corner but from a professional office around the corner in Watt St. Action has been taken and if there is no result, more serious action will be instigated.
Today I have had lengthy planning chats with John, the electrician. It is slightly difficult imagining exactly where power points will go but I enjoyed the challenge. It all involves what one sees in "the mind's eye." Had a good chat with Greg today. He told me that he prefers doing renovations to new builds. Is he the only builder in the world? He is renovating his own house which is 90 years old and situated in beautiful East Maitland. Isn't that great for a young chap. That made me feel really good.
Meanwhile, it has been raining heavily all day and the roof upstairs is still leaking. I wonder how long we wait for the neighbours in the AMP building to act???
