I think I'd rather just catch it at this stage.

I had that approach months ago, however on discovering that I would have a battle to get my work medical renewed, I decided that avoidance was the best approach.

Mutt decided that he wanted to Go out, so I’m awake, alarm set one hour from now, taxi an hour after that and then a 70 minute flight back to my lovely hotel for at least 3 weeks.

Gremlinertia

Oh hey Smurf, bugger, back to hotel hell time already? Please tell me the builder has had his arse handed to him finally?

And taken those tiles with him.

smurfjed

Aha the builder, well what can I say got a snag list company to review the house and got a 2 page report, garbage like this .....and of course the kitchen tiles weren’t touched.

Gremlinertia

What can you do but roll your eyes, what an arse that lad was.

Sister is suggesting going down a legal route, but to me the only one that will make money from that situation is the solicitor.

Well i'd also see if there's places i could write a review like onlinetradesmen type thing. I'm not very familar but i would want to be able to warn others

Mutt is now officially awake and has moved to lying outside the maids room as he awaits his morning walk.

The legal route might make you feel better for getting revenge, but it won't sav you a penny.

My retiring boss had these made for us as a parting gift.

I really think that I would look like a pretentious pr**k walking around the airport terminal this morning wearing that :)

Gremlinertia

As usual all i'm doing is trying to imagine one on mutt :P

By the way i quite like them, uniform appropriate which i don't see enough of imho

smurfjed

Gotta admit that i would have preferred the company name or the aircraft type, not these. Will pick them up as I pass though our building, so they might look better in my hand.

Gremlinertia

A valid point now you mention it..

Morning all Nice bright sunny morning here Smurf’s would you like us to pay a visit to the builder We might help improve his work Mutt is living his best life

Neighbours decided to have a social gathering last night in their garden but the music was pure and utter rubbish and they played it into the wee hours so I’m now planning my revenge Nice and early for some death metal

Someone mention chocolate cake “licks lips”

Gremlinertia

Skedaddle time here, roasting out already eek

Morning all,looks like its going to be another gorgeous day,windows wide open here,I just had a coffee and now I'm trying to motivate myself to go for a walk, I've gotten very lazy the last few weeks, not getting anywhere near 10k steps any day, I was doing 15-20k during lockdown and felt so much better, I have to get back on track but easier said than done.

Have a great day lads.

Onshuh

Suppin tae. Another nice day here so will get a few jobs done in the garden.

It would be quicker to murder him, I think a judge would be lenient. That's lazy, shoddy workmanship.

If the builder has social media pages detail your experience and add the pictures.

Are you due any certification paperwork for the house project ?

I'm munching thru a salad and wondering what Teddo really meant by a 'sausage sandwich'

LOL, like your style, however I’m getting somewhat frustrated in my 5-Star hotel room, so I doubt that I could survive in Mountjoy

Gonna get the sister to meet builder this week, he is in for a shock.

Have you paid him in full? If not get someone else to patch up issues on the snag list and deduct the cost from his fee. I'd also bargain for a notable discount for stress and inconvenience caused.

Couchside with mam, doing laundry. She’s folding while I’m putting stuff away. Exciting Sunday here

Bed side. The black dog was creeping around the edges earlier but I kicked him out. Now I will have prosecco.

How are they doing ?

and more to the point, how is your mam ?

She’s not too bad, had been struggling to get around and was nervous on crutches/the walker, but she’s getting a bit better on the walker which is something

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!

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:
