Offline time

So they are hammering... boring (dutch joke) and more hammering. Only at the neighbors place now. They were also friday. Starts at about 7:45. Real nice if you want that extra bit of laziness before getting up.

What will they be doing?
Schedule (our place):
Last week:
  • Removal of front and back sides below the window, it was chily outside.. and the wooden planks hammered in front of it for the time being did'nt really hold much cold out... brrr...
Monday:
  • 6:30 Alarm.
  • 7:30 plumber will be removing the radiators downstairs. (He was here, no water left in the radiators atm., he'll be back soon, drinking coffee at the other neighbors (I think, cause they are Turkish, hospitable and think of offering the man some coffee, plus he had a sheduled waiting period probable cause the water had to drain, plus he is I think a Turk himself. Also the Turks beat the Czech yesterday, so they have a lot to think about).
