Joiners and other weapons of mass destruction

Four Swedish guests arrived at around 4.30 to be greeted by a pair of grubby paint smeared owners. They wanted two double rooms, but we only had a double and a twin. "No problem" they said. I took them to see room 9 and asked L*** to check the twin room since the joiners had been working next door.
L**** came back saying that the floor in room 5 was missing. "No problem" I said, just close the door.
"It's missing too"
There followed a very Fawlty Towers-ish ten minutes of haring around moving stuff, hoovering, wiping and generally making the place look vaguely like a hotel rather than a furniture warehouse.
Astonishingly, the guests took the room. Despite the shenanigans in the rest of the hotel, the rooms are still clean, comfy and generally nice.
Once the work's finished they will be even nicer.
The painting in the bar and front hall has gone pretty well. The squad today consisted of Me, Lorna, Jen, John and Chris. We hope to get the bar finished tomorrow and I'll post a picture when that's done.
