In other news, today is my builders last day in my house, not sure if he knows this yet, but he had promised to be done by tonight, painters finished yesterday so that was the last high cost task, now considering the outstanding snag list there is no way he is going to finish his tasks in one day, but 53 weeks is ENOUGH.
So come Saturday the locks will be changed and Tuesday a new alarm system, unfortunately I’m still stuck with that RED/WHITE American style diner kitchen, but its worth it to get rid of this idiot.
Well done !
Standing joke in yachting circles that the two happiest days of your life are (a) when to get your yacht (b) when to manage to dispose of your yacht.
I'm sure that the inspiration for this comes from peoples experience with builders.
The last time I had an Irish builder that did his work on time and to budget was 1967 :eek:

Time for coffee and figuring out what to do for the weekend. Bubbly I don't envy you camping in that weather!
Solid excuse to hit the hooch and start the bank holiday early Leggy

I'm thinking this is one of the less talked of issues with WFH
A few weeks ago I had to phone utility provider. Quick call pickup with a Cork voice at the other end. Explained what I was after. His PC down & WFH. Suggested I redial, with luck would be routed to someone else who had a functioning PC. COB time was minutes away so didnt, had a nice chat with him instead
Between that and the army that Apple have had WFH for years I imagine the roads of Co. Cork to be swarming with young IT support types with a tangle of keyboards, power cables and clapped out HDD in their car boots 0 -

It's a long time since I got properly buckled, wonder if I should invest some time in it this weekend.0 -
I’m baaaaaack!
Currently sitting in the sitting room that’s a building site, though it makes a welcome change from myself and mam and two big armchairs crammed into the kitchen we’ve had to have some major building work done on the house and my god it’s been tough to live in :eek:
Hope all the Wherers are keeping well 0 -

Lovely to see you have returned. I feel your pain with building works but it will be worth it.
So glad I had managed to move back in when builders had finished before the lockdown.0 -

Oh it definitely will be, though it had to be done too. We had dry rot and the builder said with the timbers he took out of the house he didn’t know how the house stayed standing :eek: been a long process but getting there slowly but surelyWelcome back Kitty, we missed you big time 😀
Is there anyone here who has had a positive experience with builders ?
I actually couldn’t fault our builder either, he’s been excellent. Knew we were doing it on a shoestring as it was work we hadn’t foreseen this coming up and has been trying to keep prices as low as possible and has been flat out doing very good work every day, it’s been the lads he’s contracted out to who’ve let us down. Helps as well that he’s been good craic since he’s been here day in and day out for the best part of a month now0 -
Have abandoned all hope of cutting the grass today after the amount of rain that fell this morning .
Think I'll treat myself to a takeaway sandwich and salad from my favourite coffee shop
Have a lovely weekend all you nice , genuine posters 0 -

I have been working from home for 2 years now as my team is in the US so there's no one in our offices here.. our remote support is good.. even with them working from home, so not too much work dodging once they actually contact :rolleyes:It's a long time since I got properly buckled, wonder if I should invest some time in it this weekend.
You should consider investing proper time in this Kowloon, don't be afaird to truly commit... dig into them cans / bottles 0 -

I've had the most lovely day.
I woke at half 9, got up at half 10 and had a leisurely breakfast and a snickers. Lounged around and made lunch, downloaded a new audiobook and watched a documentary, had a nap. The only useful thing I've done is put on a wash and hang it up. I've been so tired lately because I've been doing so much and not feeling the best so I really needed this. I have enough food in the apartment and no need to go out until tomorrow! I may have also fapped a few times
I hope ye are all well my lovelies.
I'm including a photo of how I managed to make my fairy lights look like barbed wire 0 -

The jaysus rain Mam. Thankfully I got the grass done before the monsoon season. Do tell about this coffee shop.

For years I've done the editing side of things from home and had to provide my own support. I was always relieved when I had to work in a dedicated post production facility. If the **** hit the fan, you just sit there getting paid, no blame, while someone else fixed the sh1t.:D But I actually prefer to be on the road shooting with a mix of working from the home tech desk.
Anyway, it's Friday night on a bank holiday weekend, so I'm off out to the pub for a session and a takeaway after that.....oh wait.:D0 -

Grandeeod , Cafe Latte , either in the Dunamaise or Lyster Square . Classic Club Sandwich with side salad . Tbh , the girls in Lyster Square know me well so the side salad is always huge !
Hope you get to enjoy a few beers tonight
Gotcha Mam.;) The Dunamaise version is a spot I've been to loads of times. A great place. I've had the Club as well. Massive. Mrs G does the Tuna melt. A decent oul town to eat in all the same!0 -
