what went wrong haggi
we had another 2 jobs pulled from under us recently
thing is if you ask them to sign a contract they get all twitchy,but if they dont they can pull out at any time till the start
we have a big one starting in 2 weeks and that will see us for 3 months,have bought 10,000 bricks for it and if he pulls out its curtains

anyway back to now
the guiness tree is in blossom

one for you older fellas,my muck hod ,which has been safely stored for ooowww 15 years or so

160 M2 of geogrid which has been nicely clogging up the lock up for 2 years

chimney breast removed in knebworth

door cut out and stitch drilled in knebworth

roof on and front bricked up ready for window (was fitted today but no camera)

remember the LLL steel? thats it up high on the right

the clients new shabby chic kitchen,very minimalist

mrs.louts first sight of me when i got home yesterday,luckily we hit a rich seam of soot in the old chimney and those 10 bob dust masks make all the difference NOT :;):

ready for all the barbs

cheers LLL

found those rubber ones with the double filters are good for that sort of work. Those monkey faced jobs are a waste of time

it must be amusing to see the customers face when they try to explain the failed job, and the fact they turned you down first time round!!

at the end of the day you get what you pay for....!.

In our game the multi national main contractors etc used to take 5 quotes and dismiss the highest and lowest and then choose between the 3 on who they wanted to do the job, now they just choose the lowest and then complain about the standard of service they receive.
