So the wife has spent my new bike money on a new house roof. OK I can live with that.
Came home last night and the work has started. The scaffolding has gone up.
One problem. Bike in garage, scaffolding up drive with insufficient space to pass and skip blocking drive beyond scaffolding.
The roofer know I have a bike, you would have thought he would have left clearance when he was having scaffold installed and skip delivered.
Somebody up there hates me

If the man upstairs now decides to provide you with three weeks of dry sunny days, then you can be sure. Or even worse if it rains during the week, so the builders can't work and then the sun comes out at the weekend when they leave, then the scaffolding could be there for ages.....guess we'll have to watch this space.
My sympathies won't help, but you have them anyway.

they most likely seen the amount of dust on it and the mileage and thought ,this thing never moves no point making the effort,

Its a lousy forecast into next week Tim. Earn some brownie points this weekend then when the skip's gone, and the weather improves, you'llbe allowed out to play.

That is the ultimate torture, first lose new bike money and then you can't ride your current bike either......where's the karma!

Oi you
I was working at Preston site last Friday so went in on the bike. Finished lunchtime so popped round to your gaff.
why is the garage not yet erected. It seems to be resting against the side of the house. Or is it propping it up?
Anyway I was out on the bike. You were out. Or more likely not answering the door when I knocked

Agreed.
Tim - it could have been worse. When our buidling works were dragging on I got the bike a berth in a freinds garage. It was tucked away at the back with piles of stuff around it and guess what - we had a glorious early spring that year... When the builders gave me the garage back (with it's new roof) and the bike returned the imbeciles decided at that point to angle grind openings in the garage wall for the new meter boxes... The bike and everything in the garage (most of our furniture and boxes full of house stuff) all got covered in brick dust. They were not very bright and could not understand why I was swearing...
