Knocking a house down

[peds]

Jesus, this is taking some doing. Tell you what, the next house will be easier to build.

 

Haven't updated much, I'll try to fix that.

Aware you're probably busy with the build (not to mention all the dogging, transgender gimp keeping, vegancentric, sex-positive fruit sports and similar degenerative pursuits) but I indeed would love to see more on this thread.

I've just read the whole thread from start to finish and can only begin to imagine how exciting it mst be to see the new house taking shape.

 

Only question at this time - will you be reinstating the 'time capsule' in the attic?!

Hey, I resent that. I'm not a vegan, I'm plant-based. I'll try and backdate a few updates though, cheers.

That's not a bad idea actually, I will indeed stick it right back up in the attic, safe and sound in a quiet corner. It could be the spirit of the house.

 

 

Well, here's a quick question for you all to consider, while I'm sat here watching no work being done... what happens when the two guys who have been putting your house together for the last month stop showing up because their employer hasn't paid them?

Head office won't pay travel costs because the work is "local" to them... after a 150km drive...

They aren't driving 300km a day tho ?.

 

I have to ask, wtf is a sex positive fruit sport ?, Apple ping pong between two ladies ?.

Yep, the fitters are. The company base is 30 minutes up the road, but the fitters employed for this job are way up the other end of the country, a 2 hour drive away, both ways, every day. I'd be asking for petrol money for that one.

Dunno but it sounds incredible, I'd love to get involved.

Even saying 4 hours of driving each day sounds like a I'm not doing the job deal.

 

I've done similar travelling jobs in the past, they usually had a mileage or driving time cut off. I'd be tempted to ask for a local B&B as it's a business expense.

 

Fruit sport referee, looser gets a bonus round with a wrong way round pineapple?.

It's between them and their boss of course, but it's fairly standard for trades of that nature to travel a fair bit wherever the work takes them. The guy I have coming to do the roof is a similar drive as well, he's worked it into his quote I'm sure.

We offered them an apartment for them free of charge during that big freeze back in December, didn't get their head office involved just offered it to them straight up.

 

My beef is definitely with the office here, not the fitters. Might go and camp out on their lawn, see what turns up.

[GarethM]

Are they self employed then ?

[peds]

I can't tell you. Want his mobile number, you can ask him yourself?
