Drat , the plumbers have let them down
@Baz posted:Good idea borrowing furniture
yes and sounds like it was for free
I noticed at the end, they do name the companies, so explains why so many help for free....
they tried that sealed bid with us, so we always walked away
I am glad now , as some one always overpaid on those ones...
@Baz posted:It is a nice view
it is...
@Baz posted:Theyâve done a good job âĶ.given their lack of experience
yes but the traders who came in, did a lot for them 
oh dear, a loss
that is the gamble of the property market though...
so its an orange squash for us today
@Baz posted:Not sure we can afford that âĶplain tap water
sadly, yes
@Baz posted:Oh well at least they werenât weird
agree, they were both very nice
thanks for the company Baz
enjoyed it

yes lets hope for a few crates of champers, if we don't quite make that villa in South France.
aaww no Simon today
so its Oct 2021, prices were going up then
she is lucky to have an electrician
not so sure he is lucky to have someone with no experience though
@Baz posted:A nurse and an electrician âĶ.so one out of two
exactly
she can't wrap up a run down house is bandages.
no 2 looks quite a big house
so he got it below his max bid
@Baz posted:So theyâve got number 3
yes looks like it will keep them busy
MrM said it looks like it has a rubbish loft conversion 
@Baz posted:Not sure about these two working together ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
nor me
@Baz posted:Oh dear , sounds like the loft isnât a bedroom after all
yes its just a loft after all
so these 2 have been given 6 months, but yesterdays only had 4 months
glad we don't have smelly vision
@Baz posted:Yep âĶseems unfair
it is
@Baz posted:How come these renovators can knock down bliddy walls etc with only 10, or even 15k !
I guess as they get free tv publicity, they get the trades to do work for free. (which normal people like us can't!)
@Baz posted:So that will put the kaibosh on their profits ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
Yes indeed
it would need buidling regs for that room and that takes ages, as we had to do it for just a small extension. (some years ago)
we had that spray foam on our roof that previous owners had put in and we had to get the roof replaced!
its awful stuff.
@Baz posted:Omg another major problem ðąðą
they seem to be becoming thick and fast today
@Baz posted:Thought theyâd fall out ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
yes...didn't take long...
its a real trowels at dawn
looks better without that dorma now
another girl who just likes to paint
and he does the heavy work ...
@Baz posted:Sheâs right about putting the kitchen in last !
after the patio row, these 2 can't discuss anything together properly now...
@Baz posted:Yes, but prefer her to him ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
not keen on either of them
now she has taken 2 weeks off and left the hard work to him! 
@Baz posted:I think heâs just a male chauvinist!
I think she is a bit of a madam....
it probably peed him off to be put with a young girl with no experience, and he realised he'd have to do most of it, as he was the tradesman...
think it is unfair when they do that...
@Baz posted:Heâs spending money like water !
that roof alone will have cost them a fortune...
wonder if he got the patio doors on the cheap as he is in trade?

Probably , but Iâd have laid him out by now ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
if she goes away for 2 weeks and leaves him to it, she can't expect to have a say in it....
she is just painting again.
@Baz posted:But heâs an electrician , so doubt it âĶâĶthey ainât going to make any profit
I guess that as usual depends on the state of the market at the time...
some awful places were selling for ridiculous prices round here in 2021...
at least she admitted he was right about the patio doors
and he got the ceiling right too....
a real nice design and finish on this renovation...he has done well...
@Baz posted:It does look nice
it does and I think he really knew what he was doing,...
its not easy managing tradespeople and I don't think madam appreciated that....
@Baz posted:I guess it depends on the area
yes areas do vary
@Baz posted:At least they both made it to the end
yes thats good
@Baz posted:Wow not much overbudget ðĪĢðĪĢ
yes well done considering the roof cost
@Baz posted:Wow , they made 35k
What do I know ðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
yes get that champers in
and we are on the way to that yacht soon.
