Unbelievable, it has been almost five
weeks since we stripped the walls ready for a makeover in the living room.
Having quotes from four different plasterers we chose one to do the work.
Rubbing my hands in glee at the prospect of a brand new living room just
like the 60 minute makeover program, we arranged for the work to be done on my non-working
days.
So, the day
arrives for the work to begin and I'm up at 7.30, dressed fed and watered I'm
sitting in a fold away chair squeezed into the kitchen waiting for the doorbell
to ring, and waiting........ and waiting and waiting and t 10.00 am I call
Billy, I am sooo fed up when i tell him we have a no show. Billy rang the
guy but got the answer phone so he sent a text sacking him and two weeks later
the guy has never been in touch. Having sacked the first guy we arranged
for someone else to begin and lo and behold, the night before he should start
he sends a text message not even a phone call to say “I can't come tomorrow,
I'll come on Thursday if that's ok", HA! OK my arse!! First
of all we arranged for him to come when I'm off work not when it’s bloody convenient
for his lordship, so he was sent packing too. Third time lucky, so you'd
think? The next guy, yes I'll start on Friday at 9.00am.
Billy calls this
next guy on Thursday to confirm and yes, he is coning at 9.00am
tomorrow, super, smashing, ten minutes later a text arrives asking for
money up front!! Not so great
Well I was
livid, and I rang him up, gave him a piece of my mind and told him to bugger
off! Money up front NO Chance. So now we are back to square one
looking for a reliable plasterer......... Is there such a thing?
the house is a
mess we are sitting on fold away chairs the electric sockets have been taken
out and the extension trails through the house like a serpent. I am sooo
fed up, how much longer will it go on?????
