[QUOTE="Chris Cook, post: 8214297, member: 23550"] I know its Thursday, but I have a day off tomorrow 😊 Last day of June!! Time certainly is flying when you are having fun, or fixing water pipes, or laying concrete or getting ready to pop to Cheltenham Racecourse for a wee bit of drainage. Boss Man Chris took Dilly-Bob out of the workshop (kicking, screaming, sobbing, holding onto 6 packets of Digestives and 4 flasks) to lend a hand putting in a new electric cupboard ready for Western Power to lay their cables to. I have to give credit where credit is due, especially with past experiences, mostly rating less than 20% on the fun scale. This connection has been simple, hassle free and the communications between us and their office people has been better than a naughty nun at confession! Western Power’s contractors turned up on time. . . . On a Monday morning!! Didn’t give any flannel, asked if we could dig a bigger hole as they have to “loop the cable”, told us exactly what they were going to do then cracked on and did it! Why, O why can’t all utilities be like this all the time? King Kev and Cool Hand Luke have spent pretty much all week chasing water pipe leaks and putting in new water pipes. Not only that, but as reported last week, we are still getting a few calls from folk asking us to come and sort out their leaking water pipes!! Boss Man Chris and Paul finished off prepping the drive at the veg packing plant and it was all hands-on deck for the concrete pour this morning. Spoke to the lads when they got back and early reports were all good and the job went well. King Kev and Cool Hand Luke are spending the afternoon finishing off the backfilling of the last water pipe repair and then on to Stratford Racecourse to fit a new cover slab with heavy duty cover and frame over the buried / hidden manhole we found a few weeks back following the “tent peg blockage”. Boss Man Chris and Paul are moving the last few bits of drainage kit down to Cheltenham Racecourse. A bit of a priority this one as the course needs the time to heal before the first meet later in the year. All being well we should be done and dusted in a day, maybe two. Not a big job we know but we have been working at Cheltenham for years (certainly the 20 odd since I started at DWC) and to be honest we like working there and are always happy to help out. As you may have gathered it was Dilly-Bobs 109th Birthday earlier this week and being as it was his Birthday his biscuit ration was increased from, however many he wants and whenever he wants them to however many he wants and whenever he wants them plus Caterpillar Cake (courtesy of Boss Lady Jeanette). The sugar rush must have been too much for him as he struggled to grab another mug this morning!! Apparently his chubby little “designed by hammers and other things he has dropped on them” fingers were just too big to go through the handle and he pushed it onto the floor!! I definitely am ordering from Mothercare this week for him. . . we are running out of mugs! Been a brilliant weeks lads, thanks for the all digging, shoveling, concrete raking, and the laughs that come with them. Have an awfully fabulous weekend and see you all again Monday, fighting fit and ready frolic. ‘Till then, stay safe and stay smiley 😊 [/QUOTE]
