I’ll send them up, he’ll be only delighted that I got more work for him they’re nearly there with it now, hoping to be done by Tuesday or Wednesday so fingers crossed!
Mam is good, managing away here, finding it hard to not being able to do anything for herself I’d say though

I’m delighted to hear that your Mam is doing OK, I’m sure that you will give her all the support that that she needs.

I guess that my mistake Was that I didn’t hire a “builder”, I hired a “contractor”. After two weeks of relative silence where I had told him multiple times that the house would be locked last Friday and requested that he was finished, well today we had a long WhatsApp chat when he asked for access tomorrow to finish things.

When I asked why the tiles were still on the wall, he was waiting for my wife to come and pick new tiles, totally forgetting that i have a message from him saying that he was going to pick up the tiles in June.

When I asked why the kitchen cupboards didn’t touch the ceiling as requested by my missus, well he didn’t like the idea so didn’t do it.

This went around in circles for over an hour, but in the end, my house is locked with new locks and only my sister has access and she isn’t letting the guy near the place. I really loathe the fact that a new €6500 pure Oak staircase was left with paint on it, as were the skylight windows. As they say, we live and learn, but this is one experience that i dont want to ever have to repeat.

Next time I shall get a BUILDER

In the car with my OH, on a leisurely drive around the Wicklow Mountains.

Did a bit of shopping in Avoca Kilmacanogue earlier and got some nice food to go.

Happy Sunday all!

Aww no Kowloon. How long is he missing? I hope he shows up.

She was sick early this morning and asked to go out. She doesn't go past the garden really. If I leave to walk anywhere or go to the neighbours she gets upset and sits on the wall meowing until I'm out of sight. Sometimes she's still there waiting when I get back. Very much a home cat.

Thanks guys, tough enough on me having all the responsibilities fall to me but I suppose that’s what being an adult is.

Our own builder said that the other day, he said if we had gone with a contractor it probably would’ve cost twice the price it has, but since he’s an actual builder he did a lot of the work himself and got in plasterers, electricians and plumbers for the bits he couldn’t do. We were actually incredibly lucky with the builder we got, makes sure everything is done right and doesn’t cut corners, plus he’s a nice guy which helps when he’s in your house 6 or 7 hours a day! :pac:

Deskside, boooo-urns

I hope PuddyTat makes her way home, Kowloon. My cat went AWOL for 16 hours and we were out searching frantically, only to find him asleep on the doorstep when we got back.

Fingers crossed for the same for you.

Also migraines are the worst

Slow to load pages, 503s all over the place and the thanks button is only working intermittently.

Time to either fix, or shut down, the Touch site.

I don't know smurfjed, my experience is that 90% of them (whatever they're called) will break your heart... I'm still exhausted thinking back on some of the theatrics I had to pull on one of mine, and I was staying nearby and on his case EVERY DAY. The trauma fades with time :pac:

In from a chilled pub dinner with friends. I saved last unwatched episode Yellostone to see me through the Glenroes.

Deskside, I dusted off my set of decks and was playing some vinyl, speakers aren't working properly though.
