This morning at ten ,phone call asking if I can do a bathroom before Christmas, Why do you have to have a bathroom for Christmas,I don't get it IT CAN WAIT
I've got a bloke that's meant to be released from the Big House to help me two days a week, lucky if I manage to get just one full day. Her Ladyship has informed him that she wants him to work more inside (jeez, must be doing overtime then) in the run up to Christmas, so he can get all the door hinges painted for the big day. From Speechless in Yorkshire.
This is my life most of the time but coming up to Christmas is always the worst and not helped by everyone else shutting down for 2 weeks
But if it had carried on leaking until April, would she then be an Easter nutter, or just a customer?
Here’s one of todays nutters. Way way before covid. I’d guess six years ago I went to a bungalow. Owned by a local GP and her husband. The installation was out of the ark. Performing badly. After much clambering in lofts I told them that really the only sensible thing would be to repipe it. They declined. then about a year later their hot water cylinder failed. They used a friend of mine to change it as I was unavailable for some reason. He had nightmares getting the system to circulate. He advised them to re pipe it. They declined. I’ve been back to them on several occasions over the years to service the creaking boiler. I’ve told them every year that the system is shot. They’ve done nothing. today where I live it’s currently-3 at 2pm. Last night it was -8. So far I’ve had two voicemails and three texts from them today saying they have no hot water or heating. That they are freezing and need my help asap. funnily enough I’ve been giving priority to other people as to be honest I simply don’t have the time to spend sorting out a nightmare install when it could have been sorted in the summer, or the summer before or the summer before that ………
