There are always guys coming around in rickety old vehicles wanting to do things like that but we are always afraid they aren't sober and will fall off the ladder! Seriously. It seems if we don't have a name to mention it will be weeks before they come but if we mention so-and-so recommended you, things happen.

Even neighbours were more obliging in days gone by, now we're all in the same boat.

He's a very funny man, short and always wears shorts even in the coldest weather. Good luck with the gutter.

We had a walkway replaced and the back patio doubled by a wonderful cement guy about three years ago. Last Feb I contacted him and he quoted a good price. He said he would be here 24 March approximately. We have since set 4 different start dates approximately and still hasn't shown up! Guess I'll move on to someone else.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-23710628140646831582017-06-17T16:15:16.391-07:002017-06-17T16:15:16.391-07:00It seems to be a worldwide problem getting smaller...It seems to be a worldwide problem getting smaller jobs done and then having to pay over the odds.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-91332284023161781242017-06-17T15:14:33.961-07:002017-06-17T15:14:33.961-07:00In Broadchurch I know who did it!!!
