Builder starts very early?

[Bob Buzzard]

I?ve had to call the builders in again to do some more work on the house. They seem to start very early though - sometimes when I get up at 6 they?re already there in the kitchen drinking tea? I?m not quite sure what time they finish either as their van is often still in the drive even when I?m going to bed.

[cn150]

That?s odd - on another note I was wondering how often people get their houses checked by their builders and work recommended? Is yearly sufficient?

[intexasatthe moment]

Have you asked Mrs Buzzard if she can shed any light ?

[Sue]

🤣

I think you once mentioned Bob that your wife is from farming stock, therefore she will be used to waking up very early with the Cock, I realise you've probably tried hard to make her feel more at home in London with your attire of Cotton Trader's check flannel shirts and mustard jumbo cords, but I'm afraid those along with the early morning dulcet tones of Ken Bruce are a very poor substitute...

I normally stuff items from a men?s outfitters.

I had builders travel down and sleep over so they could start early and finish late.

They were amazing. Did so much in a few days.

Obvs stayed in an hotel.

It's obvious

Mrs Buzzard is obviously cooking them breakfast and trying hard to make sure they get their sausages in before the heavy humping for the day starts.

I would be more worried if Mrs Buzzard was complaining that her eggs were fertilised whilst making breakfast.

I suspect that the builders also have a mattress in the back of their van to facilitate an over night session when they have an early start to their errection work 😉

[cn150]

Ah yes, that?s reassuring - yes, I think they must be working so late that they have a mattress they?re sleeping on in the van. Mrs Bob must be doing them sausages in a bun in the mornings. That?s it all plausibly explained - thank you.

This is very confusing, then ...

😶

Got your forum names muddled up again?

[malumbu]

Are the builders men? You do get women builders as well, although there may not be enough sausages to go round.

[Spartacus]

Not confusing at all Sue, Bob is obviously the 'comedy' account of a well known forumite who seems to have at least 3 personalities

Maybe when he / she is CN150, they are all being treated by her for multiple personality disorders at the Mausdley (oh yes they are , oh no they aren't)

Regardless, keep on posting Bob as it's part of your therapy

My builder has told me my internal walls need planing as they?re not as flat as they should be - had anyone else had this done? Basically it involves hacking off all the plaster, replastering, and redecorating - and his company can do that all for me, so I don?t need to bother looking for other people. And it should last for at least 5-7 years before it needs redoing (they offer a free 5-year rechecking service too!)

[Spartacus]

I guess, like most people Bob, that I just "skimmed" over that last bit 🤨

[Bob Buzzard]

Th builder also said he thinks my house should be Grade II listed and that accordingly he?ll have to take longer with the wall planing which will cost more? He says you can tell it should be listed as the trusses in the loft are very old - Elizabethan or Jacobean maybe? You can tell because they?re dark hardwood. I?m a bit miffed my solicitor didn?t note this possible listed status during the conveyancing - that was 11 years ago though, so it?s probably too late to do anything about it now though?

[Waseley]

I'd love a tour. Are you planning any? You could be part of Open House

[Spartacus]

I think that what goes on in your loft Bob, is over most people's heads.

[johnie]

I refused to let my builders start til 16:66. Came home and the place was on fire.

[Bob Buzzard]

16:66? That?s very late, mine always have an early start and get stuck straight away.

Actually quite a good joke.

[Bob Buzzard]

Yes, that?s true. Though the possible listed status of my house needs to be considered too.
