Drain is mended :j:j:j
It's hard to describe how happy this makes me
And he had a bit of extra sand and concrete around, and used it to fill in around the holes made for pipes by the first builder I had (who I don't use any more). Remember I used to see daylight in the cabinet underneath the kitchen sink? I sealed the inner wall, but not the outer. All done now

Z I know what you mean, about paying for something that I'd previously have given through friendship, but I was thinking about it after I wrote it, and since he mediates all his relationships through money, it *might* actually save our friendship. If I do it
which is a little bit unlikely
Is it worth saving? Do you value people like that outside of a professional setting?As for the nurse's uniform she left him, y'know 
I don't think he was paying her enough for that

It should make you happy. Always keep the water out. The rest can wait.And he had a bit of extra sand and concrete around, and used it to fill in around the holes made for pipes by the first builder I had (who I don't use any more).

Keep hold of him. Good builders are hard to find, and seem to go bad after a while."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Thanks beanie, SHS - chilling duly accomplished, six hours uninterrupted sleep plus assorted lolling about :j
It's not worth saving, Z - if we didn't have a professional presence together (shared website, leaflet, we used to run groups together) I'd have walked off long ago.Is it worth saving? Do you value people like that outside of a professional setting?
Absolutely:TIt should make you happy. Always keep the water out. The rest can wait. That's the priority, isn't it!
When you're right, you're right :TKeep hold of him. Good builders are hard to find, and seem to go bad after a while.
This guy's a plumber - he said he won't work in tandem with any builder, he just does his own thing - and he's only about 30 (though I'm so old I might be misjudging that slightly
). Sparkling review on checkatrade for him, anyway. The builder I *now* have is a good'un too - inherited the business from his elderly dad, so he's a bit old school too, which is brill.
Bliss. Not a working day, I can faff around to my heart's content :cool::beer:
