Contractors are a giggle, aren’t they? 15:20 - Jan 27 with 1440 viewsIllinoisblue

Day 1 of bathroom remodel: Guy arrives two hours late, says todays work (ripping up existing tiled floor) “will be done in a couple hours”. Seven hours later he finally finishes up.

Day 2: different guy who’s going to instal the new flooring had said “I’ll be there at 8am (today). It’s now 9:20 and no sign of him.

Can anyone explain their need to start ridiculously early and knock off around two?

I love hearing scaffolders' banter, don't get me wrong, but surely they can wait for a godly hour.

update… the project manager just called. Tile guy “can’t make it today” but should be back at it tomorrow.

I don’t really care that much. I’m home anyways and it’s not the main bathroom. Just be less of a Lambert and more of a McKenna.

So it gives them time in the afternoon to go to the "Other Job"....the one that they started but haven't finished yet

Then at 5 they can go to the "Other Other Job"...the one that wasn't finished when they started the "Other Job"

Knock off at 7, pub then home

Apart from Malcolm who had to go to the "Other Other Other Job" which was actually quite near to being finished, just the plastering, decorating and kitchen/bathroom fitting to do

Leastways, that is how we used to work
