  • In my (annoyingly now vast/broad experience) the trades on here are not representative of 99% of the trades out there.

    This is totally fair tbh. I always come out to defend the trades/myself but the majority really earn a fair degree of derision.

    And they finish each Friday with a bottle of Guinness Foreign extra and a bit of a dance while they're tidying up.

    Deffo legends!

  • Deffo legends!

    The main dude bought us all (me, ms_com, our lodger and another guest who was staying last week) a bar of Grenadian chocolate as he was excited to see chocolate from his home country in Lidl. And they do things like call each other to let the other one in instead of ringing the door bell in case mini_com is napping. And they'll suggest non-extravagant things (so I know they're not just after a bit of extra cash) like when they were taking down the ceiling in the bedroom (totally fucked), they took out the old cold water tank from the eaves/loft through that and then put some boards down above the new ceiling joists so we could store shit like christmas decorations. And they suggested acoustic board on the wall between my office and the bedroom, and on the ceiling as ms_com's office is directly above. None of that was on the original job spec.

    Annoyingly though, they did fuck the PVC trim of the 18 month old windows when hacking the plaster off the bay, but Everest are just going to come out and fix that under warranty. But I've given them a 70kg radiator to hang as penance.
