This is because he’s fit a vanity in a space it doesn’t fit well in and hasn’t done anything about filler panels which would be essential. The skirting prevented the door opening. He had to refit after trying that. A disaster start to finish

Yes, with some of the world’s finest gaslighting as well! I was so happy with the work it has been twice remediated and the guy has said “I can’t keep coming back, this is the best I can do”

Went over to the house last night for a proper warts and all exam of the work that was done in the downstairs loo. Blimey. I’ll put on some of the things I saw.

It’s been a very long week at work. Something something known unknowns…unknown unknowns. Damn, don’t you miss George Dubya? The good old days.

Is this a fever dream or for real?!

Hahaha. Met a woman at the weekend who came from a similar walk of life. Horrified at VAT on school fees. How I stayed calm I don’t know!

Do it! You’ll get the hardcore ones this time of year but January will bring the new year new me crew out!

If anyone’s tracking this: farfalle, conchiglie and (if you count it) gnocchi are my most hated forms of pasta.

We moved & the other post Covid booking worked well enough- about a week’s wait. Here they’ve closed all other phlebotomy services, so can only be handled by the surgery themselves now! Absolutely bonkers!

Couldn’t get an appointment for blood draw at the GP until Saturday but the nurse has been popping out every 5 mins saying “anyone for a Covid jab?” To a waiting room who are not here for a Covid jab. Bureaucracy at its finest.

If it’s a liquid you’d pour down your sink, I don’t understand how this is against the law?

Photos speak volumes. It’s not good work and has been remediated twice and still it’s atop a wonky floor that he fitted & didn’t know wasn’t flat until he started installing a vanity & wants more than £3k for that! I’m lost for words and very angry.

Thanks yeah. He’s just sent me a nasty message about how he’s done so much for me, moving things when I said I didn’t want them there (he’s a professional and should know you don’t bash an open cupboard door onto a radiator!) and that he’s never dealt with anyone so awful in his life. I think the

Well, he’s put it as right as he intends to (downstairs loo) floor wonky (he removed & refitted floor), so tilting basin & toilet bad plumbing, bad plastering. Literally I supplied the vanity unit, basin, loo, radiator, he supplied floor boards & bits below. Bill £3,150. It’s daylight robbery.
