Popped in to check on the builders. Apparently we might be able to live in half the house by Christmas and they'll then continue on the other. Not the best time of year to have holes in your walls though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
See they have the most important tool, the kettle. Wait till it runs over budget :Nailbiting: then time to sell a bike.
It's an open wound with a drain on that has to be packed with seaweed tape so the void heals from inside out.Obviously has to be kept scrupulously squeaky clean
Only just got the bloody bike and so far they're only £1700 over budget because the architect can't use a ruler properly. Only when I was on-site it got noticed as I pointed out the footings were a metre out. Good job really or our lounge would have been shorter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just make sure his bill comes up short, best you get your last ride on your new bike done before it goes :Arghh: will look great when all finished
Auto-cad and computers: the ruin of the architect's trade. I'm pricing an extension at the moment - converting and extending a garage into a sizeable and odd shaped single-story annex. The drawings are riddled with contradictions and omissions. Drains and even doorways have been left off entirely, dimensions don't add up with the details on the spec sheet (such as it is) and the footprint dimensions have not been worked out to accommodate brick bond. I'll have to have a meeting with the architect with a list of queries before I can even price it. This is commonplace these days on domestic builds. There's a few good ones left. One architect I sometimes work with is old school (although he isn't that old). He still does "blue-print" originals on a drawing board in pencil and ink. He even has an A2 copier and a vintage draftsman's chest of drawers where all his drawings are stored flat. His plans are always millimetre perfect. He surveys the site properly and includes datum points and levels and he works everything out to brick bond with full dimensions that add up. He even writes each spec sheet himself instead cutting and pasting the latest block of regs off the internet. Its always a pleasure building his designs because they work.
Just read this - A LETTER FROM A 69yr OLD FEMALE TO AN AGONY AUNT: Dear Deidre, My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning and when I confront him, he denies everything. What’s worse, everyone knows he cheats on me. It's so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job 14 years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around, shoot pool with his buddies and have sex with hookers, while I work so hard to pay our bills. Since our daughter went away to college and then married, he doesn't even pretend to like me, and hints that I may be a lesbian. Please help. What should I do? Confused….. Dear Confused, Grow up and dump him.You don't need him anymore. For fuck sake woman, you're running for President of the United States, get a grip!
I'm testament to that.... Had an 80 stitch wound that went septic.... It was packed with seaweed and healed inside 2 weeks....the septic bit that is... Awesome stuff. Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk
Politics DB. Careful now. Not to be confused with architecture. Different things entirely. :Bookworm: Get yourself off the the numpty section with Finn and Flatfish. :Bucktooth:
