I'm worried that my builder is surreptitiously trying to move into my house. He's been doing my new bathroom for 3-months now and its still not finished and he is still here late in the evening when I come back from work, and is here some weekends as well. And all his tools are in one of the spare rooms. What should I do? My wife doesn't seemed bothered and says I'm imagining it.

Everything stripped back bare, oh dear I suspect that includes Mrs buzzard who is helping hold your builders tool and making sure that he is well looked after and provided with every opportunity to sort out the plumbing whilst you are out at work ...


This could explain your sudden need to get in with the school run mums in your cords as obviously Mrs buzzard is clearly focused on other things like the crack your builder is filling for her


Wake up man and smell the gypsum !

I was going to suggest watching that documentary 'Desperate Housewives', but this is much more eloquent.

I'm going to tell him to finish this week as there is only a bit of tiling left to do. I was worried as I'd seem a roll up mattress and sleeping bag next to his tools and he's always here late at night and early in the morning, but I never hear him leave, and my wife makes him tea in the morning.

Hey Bob. Just a heads up. I hear the local Firemen are visiting homes in your area and checking out smoke detectors and offering general advice and the like. They only need to pop around once, not multiple visits at around lunchtime or when you are not in.

    • We have a very large collection - anything in particular you are looking for?
    • I'm thinking of going to India at Christmas and it's been 18 years since I last visited. So long ago, I can hardly remember where I went (I was there for 8 weeks...). Has anyone been to the South recently? I'm thinking Kerala, as we fancy some beach action. 
    • If it's not bolted down it gets stolen, terrible. Some people have no respect for others property.  Hope you reported it to the Police and got a crime reference number, what did they say? 
    • Try pavement, this is London, not the US. The Mayor increased his proportion of council tax in 2025/26 to pay for "more" haha PC's but my understanding is they were cut not increased. A rouse by the Mayor to take more and give nothing in return.  Troubling and far too common here.  Just be careful where you get it out
