Finally CONNECTED to the grid & the first layer of BLOCKS are LAID
After waiting 2000 years, with the caveman hairgrowth to prove it, ESB FINALLY connected us to the grid. Now Noel has light, heat, comfort food and plenty of company as the blocklayer and the pump man arrived on the same day. Rather than too much excitement all at once we decided to save the pump saga to the next episode. I know, I'm such a tease. You love it really! 🤣

I know he is taking the pictures and sending them to you then you are uploading to TH-cam, so maybe a bit of resolution is lost, but most of us using our phone camera forget to clean the lens.
