Looks amazing Ed... I`d love to buy something run down, rip it all out and put my mark on it like you and Anne have. Well done and I can`t wait to see the finished project.

well done Ed, quite some project to take on. I got builders in a few years ago to do up my kitchen and it was such a stressful time. Had no water downstairs for 6 weeks. They were only taking down a wall. Had live wires dangling. Never again. Look forward to seeing the finished results

Thats not normal tbh, thats why i try to minimise disruption to the customers when i do work because they will tell their friends etc who may be looking for work to be done but worried about the hassle, if i made it hell while doing the job they would probably be put off and tell their friends the same.

That said, some work will require some disruption, comes with the territory so its best just to inform the client beforehand and discuss any issues so that they are aware, they can then sometimes make arrangements to make things easier.

The team we have are great, but the plumber is the scarlet pimpernel, turns up when he wants. It can be very annoying. But we don't have live wires dangling down, and we do have water supply in the house.

Today the spark has been to do the kitchen wires, and the glazing bloke has been to put the French doors in the den. I'm painting the new plaster upstairs so that the builders can put the laminate floors down next week:D

At the moment we are looking to be in the house 3rd week of November, slipped from next week because the building inspector was a PIA and insisted on lots of additional work to the roof and partly cos we changed the spec. It's darn cold at night and I can't wait for proper heating:D
