Karl the plumber came today to install oil tank. The old tank, removed from beneath the decaying porch, was never installed properly. The plan is to put the new tank (holds 330 gallons) in the pump room next to the kitchen. This means a hole has to be drilled through the concrete roof, and who knows what else. Karl's son is with him. They tell me there will be lots of noise, but in fact, they soon disappear. I assume there was some sort of emergency.
When George arrives in the afternoon, they are gone. The tank is not installed and we assume they were called away for some plumbing emergency.
I am a bit out of it due to assorted painkillers but continue my scraping, while George continues working on the porch columns.
Here's a close-up of the column detail.
