Monday: A knock on the door around midday admited a bloke who went upstairs with power tools.
I was supervising F's work at the time so it wasn't until after he had gone again a few hours later that I could go up and inspect what had been going on up there.
This... (in the spare bedroom)
...had turned into this
"About two weeks" I heard him say. This promises to be much more interesting than supervising emails.
Tuesday: There I was, checking the quality of buildwork and suddenly everything went dark. Oh bother....my retreat was blocked off. A while later I could hear muffled voices as Mr B and Joe the joiner discussed my whereabouts. Fortunately for all of us Mr B worked out that I had inspected the gap behind the big walk-in cupboard at the top of the stairs (which lets me into the side cupboard in the main bedroom) and he let me out from there.
A bit of an adventure for you tigger.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to start calling you Indiana Jones.
I like it. Now I need a hat....
DeleteBe careful, Mr T, being walled up would not be fun.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told apparently my humans had already planned for the possibility that I would take the opportunity to trog around in the side lofts. We all know how they are connected and the humans can squeeze through all the gaps that I can get through (there are no REALLY small ones), but they had previously stored their snow toys in one narrow space to try and stop me from going into this area that is now being opened up and turned into cupboards and drawers. It didn't work and I used the crawl space to get the other way from the current 'works' into the cupboard F stores all her canning gear in. That's where I was 'found'.
DeleteYou carry a clipboard and pencil and they will think you are an official building inspector Tigger. Did you find any spiders?
ReplyDeleteI regularly check for spiders anyway Dave, and sometimes come out with old webs on my whiskers. Of course I am the official building inspector - I have very demanding standards.
DeleteI think Angela picked a great name Indiana Jones! Glad no Tigger’s were harmed in the making of this post. And now I am dying to see the finished product and trying to figure out just what that man is doing to that room. It looks very interesting I’m waiting to hear and see
ReplyDeleteStorage space Sandra-Aunty. Cupboards and drawers so that storage furniture doesn't have to stand on the floor of a fairly small room. The next challenge will be to stop my humans (read 'Mr B') from filling it with 'stuff'. We don't in fact have 'stuff' to put in there and F wants to keep it that way. It is meant to be part of a project to make the house better suited for family use so that it can be sold in due course. It is meant to look like good storage for clothing and toys and that kind of 'stuff'. xxx Mr T
DeleteWell Tigger, we are thinking you have a whole fortnight of supervising to do, and no doubt many more new adventures...
ReplyDeleteThere would be lots of stuff to chew Nobby; if I was into chewing stuff. (I can't pretend to be an angel - cats regularly shred things with claws instead of teeth. The end result is the same - destroyed human possessions and annoyed humans, but what can they do? They love us.) Paw smacks Mr T
DeleteWe had one of those secret passageways for cats, involving the inside of the bathroom wall and a cabinet, very exciting when a cat got in and forgot how to get out. I guess you don't forget though.
ReplyDeleteThe Further Adventures of Tigger the Explorer! Sounds like you have settled in well into your new home :)
