  • Carmen.

    Who sent me an email as she left the office to say the item I ordered isn’t available.

    That it isn’t available is ok. But to send it at 15.59 when she leaves at 16.00 is what pisses me off. Item was ordered for next day delivery but she didn’t bother to notify me of the issue until hours after the shipping deadline.

    While writing this I have been on hold to Carmen’s colleague who has just told me the other half of the order is also not available.

    100% failure rate. It was a nail gun and stainless brads so I could do something nice as a surprise for my wife as I was going to clad her office in oak while she is away this week on a business trip. Crucially I wanted it to be surprise and also to do the work while she wasn’t here so the noise wouldn’t interrupt her working day.

    Instead she will return to walls that have had insulation panels installed but not cladding over the top.

  • Left over cladding from when we did the house extension. It’s actually for the composting toilet which is part of her wood cabin office. The interior is mesh lined panels and I have put left over insulation panels up and need to cover them up.

    I have an air compressor for tubeless tyres, cleaning chainsaws etc so have ordered an ace & k brad nailer (I also have about 1.5k left over stainless brad’s).

    So all in all the job cost is the nail gun which will be used on future work too.
