1 day and a lot of mess

Finally building work has commenced in Chez Box. The Polish builders have made up for being almost 2 weeks late starting by making an incredible mess after just one day. I like to think that the size of the mess is equal to the amount of productivity, and as such, we will be finished this project ahead of time. I believe they call this blind faith. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the Poles, with most of my requests (some as ridiculous as asking them to remove hundreds of nails from our Welsh floorboards) proving no bother. "It be fine" is the standard reply, whereas an English builder would still be grimacing with "Oh mate, that's not going to be cheap." God bless the Polish.
