So what is it about handymen - firstly they are never around when you need them - and they usually come at a price, often my patience is the price I pay. The instruction was straightforward - instal the new doorbell so that only a select few will know it is there - the underside of the slightly weatherworn post box was the best bet - it is also the only place available. Not difficult one might assume (note to self - remember ass -u-me). One might assume incorrectly. Product supplied with - wait for it, bells, whistles and trumpets please - double sided tape. Well of course if you are going to install a doorbell, it should be easily removed for whatever crises you can think of, but I sincerely believe that double sided tape is only any good for childrens craft ideas. So, I requested a more permanent fitting like a screw or two. Not a big ask in my book!
Needless to say, I got home, looked for the push button to ring the doorbell to the no-one inside - for the fun of it and da-da... no doorbell. Unless you are speaking of the one lying in the gutter beneath the postbox!
I ask you with tears in my navy blue eyes - who on earth fits anything onto a letter box (wooden) with tape! I am a bookkeeper and I know better.
SO who is volunteering to work for nothing other than my undivided attention and perhaps a cup of Nescafe?
