Absolutely. But it is galling getting passed over for other work all the time. Especially when we were front of the queue (whatever that means). I get it, there are very likely more interesting/better paying jobs around at the minute. But have some fucking integrity, or even just basic manners, and either do stuff when you say you will or don't say you'll do it. I'm fucking done with having sympathy for trades who have "too much work".
We're living in this. We are very lucky to have the space that we do, both trying to work from home would be making me even more miserable than I am now, so I know my privilege. But we can't realisitically do anything else until even the two rooms they started are finished as there needs to be some bastard annoying jenga/rubix cube arrangement of our shit from one room to the next to be able to complete/decorate different rooms.
I'm not asking for the moon on the stick. I want to pay decent trades what they are worth to do reasonable work. I don't want unrealistic shit, I don't keep changing my mind or moving the goal posts, I don't even have ridiculous expectations of quality. Just somebody, please come in, let me point at a room and you get it to the stage where I can throw paint at it.

Need more builder recommendations for SE/CR area. The one's who started off promising, have gone to shit. Had a crisis call on Tuesday night, was promised a visit yesterday lunchtime to inspect the blown new plaster and a schedule for the remaining works last night. Fuck all. Will maybe get them to fix the shit plaster work and get someone else in.
So far, we've dealt with about 7 different trades. Only good ones are the plumber who only does small jobs (CJ Plumbing), the guys who did our front door refurb (Asashwindows) and @ColinTheBald who's doing the retaining wall in the garden. Everyone else I'd be happy if I never spoke to again.
Need plasterer, carpenter and electrician at the minute. But ideally someone who can just sort shit out and RESPOND TO FUCKING EMAILS OR DO SHIT WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL!!!!!!11!!!!1!!
I don't care if they say, we're booked up for X weeks or months, but don't say "we'll try to do it next week" then completely fucking ghost me.
