New house now has kitchen, bathroom & even some ghosts too!
At last, the rewiring has been completed in the new house; the bathroom and kitchen have both been rendered and plastered on all walls and ceilings. The kitchen units and sink have been put into place and the new bathroom suite has been plumbed in.
I will be spending Monday night there alone in the empty house to be ready for the builders to arrive on Tuesday (Monday is a bank holiday so no work that day).
I want them to know I am taking up residence so they might hurry along at an increased pace as nothing seems to have been done on Friday.
As well as me taking up residence it seems I may not be the only resident of our new home. While at the house yesterday taking in some boxes and cleaning up I was approached by a man claiming to be the previous tenant of the house.
He went on to tell me he vacated the property because it was haunted – hardly the news I wanted to hear shortly before spending a night alone in the empty house but interesting news none-the-less.
It seems strange things happened in the house, according to the man who was very keen to tell me about the ethereal lodger.
He went on to report the ‘ghostly’ events including the living room door opening by itself and the taps turning on by themselves for no earthly reason. During the renovation I have had all new interior doors fitted and a new plumbing system installed so it will be interesting to see what occurs in the future.
So on Monday night I will be sleeping with the TV on to hopefully cover any creaks and bumps in the night, a crucifix will be firmly clutched in my clammy little hand and the Ghostbusters on fast-dial on my mobile phone.
I’m also considering taking my digital camera just in case - BRING IT ON!!!
