You can only do your best, with a project of that size it very rarely gets completed in time, and on budget is even more rare lolNot really but they have no choice now.
They’re giving me a hard time but to be honest it’s water off a ducks back.

This is the builders plumber and he’s less reliable than mine which is a feat on its own.
Paid for this today for completion on Monday.
I can’t wait to get the keys.
Its always a competition between plumbers and electricians, the two most unreliable people in the trade
The electricians all worked for my old company for years so I have that base covered fortunately.Its always a competition between plumbers and electricians, the two most unreliable people in the trade
The trades that are hard to find are good joiners and plumbers.
The joiner on this job is excellent but he knows it and lets me know it constantly.

Got the garage door and the worktops fitted today and the plumbers have finally made a start. Tiler starts Monday but it's going to be a real push to get finished for the 27th when they move in.

The last picture,is that next door to the left, if it is then it looks they have to come on your land to access the meter?
Yes I think you’re right but I’ll let the new owners sort that out. I don’t care and no one has picked up on it.

The hob is in now. The extractor is built in above. Remote control.
The place is nearly finished now so I’ll take some pics tomorrow.
I tried today but the plumbers had taken over.
Their kit was in every room!
He’s now my best mate and has been a star to be honest.Wants even more money yes
Best second fix joiner I’ve seen in a long time.
Flooring going down today and tomorrow and completing the sale on Thursday fingers crossed.
The last week has been a really stressful struggle unlike most of my projects.

I met the plumber at 8 this morning to finish a bit of silicon sealing he needed to complete and the flooring guy was just finishing off when I got there.
They were both gone by 9 and the legals completed at 9.30.
I also had some professional photos taken this morning so will post them up when I get them back.
We then met the new owners to hand over the keys and left them a bottle of champers to celebrate.
