This sounds like a conversation I had with my kitchen fitter when I said that by the time he arrived all the old units would be gone, the new units put together, the electrics and water switched off and made safe and floor taken up.

When he asked how many days Mr LPH was taking off work I laughed.

On the morning of arrival it had all been done - by me. The only help I needed was that the stopcock had got too stiff - but then any woman can have that problem and I simply called in an ex-boyfriend to sort it out.
