Measuring up

Eager to seem capable and make use of our time, I offer to be responsible for ‘Measuring Up’ windows and doors. A pencil behind my ear (proper tradey me!) and armed with a laser tool (is it a ‘tool’?!) I teeter on bricks, kneel on slug trails and holler at the boys when in difficult positions for concurrently reading and noting numbers. With a sense of importance I mark measurements to the corresponding openings on the plans.

This was in July 2021.

Vandy has since re-measured these areas approximately 134 times and still the windows and doors are yet to be ordered ‘everything happens in a time-sensitive sequence’ (yawn- where’s my pool already?!)
