A wolf in sheep's clothing
Someone came to help with the roof. Two men, Miles and Larry, they said they would help with the roof. Come back once you have sent a work timetable and schedule via email, we said. R gave them his email and they walked off. In truth, we thought nothing of it when we heard nothing. We have had about ten people look at the roof and no one wants to touch it. We simply got on with our lives. R and…

Frustration
As per the title, I need to vent about something that has been annoying me for 3 weeks now. My partner has told me I shouldn’t let it bother me so much but it does. I feel cheated, and like a fool, so I’m bound to feel annoyed. I know sometimes with my mental health, things can be blown out of proportion, or I end up focusing on little things, or I get annoyed with things that shouldn’t even…

This One Song… Holiday Ghosts on Credit Note
This One Song… Holiday Ghosts on Credit Note
Tell you what – we love hearing from artists when things go right. We equally love hearing from artists when things go dreadfully wrong. A song that was a piece of piss, written in 20 minutes? Or years in the making and a bastard to write? Whether it’s a song that came together through great duress or one that was smashed out in a short amount of time, we’re getting the lowdown from some of our…

Groundhog Day Eve
Just been up to number 13 to check progress and go through snagging list with Deputy Head Honcho of Builders C. All is looking pretty good until DHH tells me that the plumber is ‘caught up on another job’ and won’t be here till tomorrow morning. We’re meant to be having a sign off meeting at 8am. The plumbing work that is still outstanding is the fitting of the utility sink, kitchen sink, dishwasher and washing machine – bearing in mind that all of the problems that we’ve had in this house have been due to plumbers fitting things last minute I’m not very happy about this. There’s also a slight smell of gas in the understairs cupboard which my husband had reported to them yesterday. So apart from the fitting of the dreaded boiler then they’ve just left ALL of the plumbing until after the sign off meeting….
I ring Head Honcho and express my displeasure – he tells me that he should’ve had til the end of the day tomorrow and so therefore this is fine… Despite telling me on Monday that they’d be fine to handover at 8am on Friday…
Although he did tell me in his special I’m talking to a woman and I want her to get off the phone voice that he would try and get the plumber to come over this afternoon. So I expect he’s definitely making that call now…
They’re all the same – why should I have expected any different.
House will not be signed off tomorrow.
My optimistic ‘Whoop Whoop it’s February’ moment lasted about 2 hours.
C is for!?!?!?!
Botched Yorkstone Tiled Floor Instalation Resolved in Guiseley
In an interesting turn of events, I was recently contacted again by a homeowner from Guiseley, near Leeds, with whom I had been in touch with two years prior. At that time, I had quoted for cleaning and maintenance work to be carried out on a Yorkshire Stone, or 'Yorkstone' tiled floor, but the customer had opted to go with a different company. Yorkstone is a variety of Sandstone that it unique to the quarries of Yorkshire. When the customer called me again, she explained that the previous Read more at http://northwestyorkshire.tiledoctor.biz/botched-yorkstone-tiled-floor-instalation-resolved-in-guiseley/

BEWARE of Cowboy Builders!!! “Jack of all trades and master of none”
I moved away from my usual genre of posts to highlight my experiences with the “Cowboy Builder” generation. These are a special breed of individuals who have possibly had varying backgrounds from telemarketers to recovering substance abusers. You cannot really paint a broad brush by determining where these individuals were discharged from, all we do know is that they wreak havoc on our properties.
