A few sawn oak planks

Kevin, that's incredibly narrow minded and offensive.

You have obviously had a bad experience with builders. (in my experience) generally when a member of the public has had problems with builders as they have gone for the cheapest option and the contractor they have chosen has no credibility or intention of doing the best job possible.

As in all trades there are good and bad people practicing i think the customer should take some dew-diligence and find out who they are employing and a tradesmans past employers.

There was a thread on here about someone charging for very bad workmanship pol-larding trees, I'm sure there would be a lot of retaliation if the person cam on here and posted a comment as offensive as yours about all members of the abro-culture sector.

Yes i am a builder, and the reason i am on here is i am sick of buying over priced imported timber. (and want to be able to offer my customers genuinely locally sourced timber) for barn conversions and historic restorations.

 

 

No personal offence intended John! Unreserved apology in that respect!

 

It was ranting based upon long standing, consistent, frustrating and potentially costly personal experience.

 

I'm not one to shirk personal responsibility for due diligence, quite honestly, about as far from it as it is possible to be.

 

It's too late for a comprehensive reply tonight but in order to (attempt) to justify my rant I'll offer some background tomorrow.

dont worry about it fella,

when i read it i was a bit like... What the F@#k, no need for that!!!

no need to air it on here for my benefit i have not taken personal offense. I do find more annoying than comments as above is incompetent tradesmen, or even worse out and out con artists that both give a very bad reputation to the trades.

If you do want to PM me basic background i can possibly offer some advice from past experiences.
