Workmen

Our chimney cleaner has a vaccum cleaner and scoops up any mess he makes. He even polishes the inside pipe, which is our wood-fire chimney. 

However, not all workmen consider the aftermath as their business. 

 Workman no. 2

Darn this one 

He cemented some holes that had appeared between the flagstones. 

All the stones are now covered in a film of cement. It can't be scrubbed off but we're hoping heavy winter rains might wash the worst away. 

He threw the leftover cement slush over the geraniums and the container he used ended up in the garden too. 

But

He's a cousin and cheap

Thumbs up and a bonus for this young workman

He brought our first load of oak logs 

And stacked it without being asked
