Builder from HELL!!!....The other half!!
My friend Lesley lives with her partner (his scoobynet name - oldfella) in a beautiful house in a remote part of the country which we all knick-name "The Manor"
She has an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom and its here where the problems start!
Lesley asked oldfella if they could have a new bathroom suite installed and re-decorate it from top to bottom, he said yes.
Oldfella is very tight with his money and decided to cut corners and do the job himself. It has now been a few months since he last did any work to it, and he still hasnt finished the job he set out to complete............
Lesley is very upset and desperate to get her bathroom back.
I am therefore appealing for your help and opinions on this very sad matter and hopefully get enough support to convince oldfella to pull his finger out and finish the job properly or part with his cash to get the professionals in!!!

you have to tilt your head to the side
it would look good if he finished the job off, having to wake upto that every morning for the last few months isnt pleasant

He's seen this thread & just laughed. He thinks his money should be spent on more important things like getting his scoob up to scratch. So I guess I will have to wait a while yet. He says it will be done by Christmas, he just doesn't say which Christmas.
