Over in the USA at the moment with work. Queung up at a shop to pay and a guy near me says to the girl at the till. "God this weather is terrible. I have 30 acres of hay down and if I don't get it soon, it ain going to be worth nothing".

Probably has been said on here before but heard story last night about a few blokes having a chat about viagra.
Usual stuff, one saying he wouldn't need it (liar!), another saying he wouldn't take it at all etc etc. Then one of them says that he had taken it once about a year ago. Bit of sneering followed and then one of them asks if was as good as they say
Any good? says yer man, any good? its serious stuff. I took two of them one evening and about an hour later I didn't know whether to go off with the woman with it or to finish off bringing in the round bales

You'll do alright Reg. You had a great job done on them for sucks. Let the next man finish them. Is there any reason you don't finish them yourself?

Built my own house. Moved in 18 months ago. I am an engineer too, but I can definitely say a lot of engineers that design houses don't mind spending your money. Value for money is rarely considered

We have to sell or town house before we have the money to build one or two of the engineers didn't want to no when we said that the prick.

Be carefully with engineers/aarchitects that quote a price. And then add vat when they realise your not going to give them all the work they expected.
My brother got one architect/engineer to do plans and get the full planning permission. €2500 I think, but when my brother told him he was too expensive for the signing off for the stage payments, suddenly it was 2500 plus VAT.

6 years later the engineer is still wait for his VAT

Built a house as well... Some days am half sorry I didn't just buy one in the locality. We are in a few years, and we still seem to be spending money on it (albeit outside now, but its a money pit)

Also - on the mates thing - get their opinion, but not sure I'd recommend getting mates to do work. Not that it got messy with me, but tis hard to ring a mate, and put pressure on them, when you know they are under pressure already... but maybe I am too soft

In and out. Very happy. Weights were better than expected and prices were good to match. Nows the time to sell it seems before the glut appears.

careful when you are getting quotes, you also need to make sure your architect is able to carry out assigned certifier duties
