LIFE AFTER HELGA !!!! (1 Viewer)

[Ivory55]

He will be moaning that the bricks are to dry and the muck is drying out in the sun making it hard to point up. Haha

 

[Fenman]

Take care working in this heat. We've missed you but I presumed you were grafting hard. Take it steady.

I would take over this thread in Ian’s absence but I could only manage “Garrythelegobuilder”

Good evening,,,,

well I’m done!!! Lost about four stone today, in sweat! ( what a lovelythought!!).
My head looked like the fountains outside the bellagio in Vegas!!

ok, so I started the large wrap around extension Monday the 20th, and have done 8 days in all, so far,, customer wanted to get drainage online at a cheaper price, it didn’t arrive when promised, so I had a couple of days off,, but all good now!
Last sat and sun, I did a job for a lovely couple in Gorleston, divided a large bedroom into two, for two girls,, studwork, ply, plasterboard, sound insulation the works,, got paid and then they asked me if I could build a little extension out the back,,, yes I said, can you wait? Yes we can! Bonus!

I’ve had three more calls, a porch in Gorleston, another smallish extension in caister, and a garden wall in Yarmouth!
My customer at the moment, the big extension, has 2 mates, both managers at aviva, like him who want extensions also, and who are waiting on the outcome and opinion of this one before they commit,, It’s gone mad!!

I’ve just got back from taking my neighbour shopping, and I’m going to do bugger all tonight, after a nice shower!
That’s it really, been busy and loving it!
Hope you are well, and enjoying the sun!!

and your right,,,, the muck was going off as soon as it hit the wall today! Lol.

xxxxxxxx

Well done Ian. What a turnaround for you.

no hats required,,, lol

her name is vilma,, Lithuanian, lovely girl,, 3 kids had an abusive husband ( now deported) mum lives with them,, Vilma is a lovely looking girl, and unfortunately gets a lot of innuendo and attention off blokes that aren’t to be trusted! I’ve got to know her well over the last 3/5 months, and I would never overstep the mark,, She feels that she can talk to me about anything and everything,, I wouldn’t betray that trust!

Good evening,,,,

well extension is going well, so far,,, had a visit from the building inspector today, for drains and oversite,, all good, in fact she said it was A1 so concrete going in tomorrow,,, I havnt had any help this week and it’s been hard work, but rewarding, especially when the building inspector takes the customer to the side and compliments my work,,, so he’s ( the customer) is very happy with me! I’m chuffed!!

I have asked Stewart to come in on Monday, to load out my bricks, while I get my profiles and starter bars and levels and gauge sorted,, that will give me a good start!

I know I’m going to have a slight drama though, the new bricks are metric size, the existing house is imperial,, and I think I’m going to have quite large bed joints, so I’m thinking I may flush the joints up, instead of using my jointing iron, I’m not sure,,, I shall speak to the customer to see what he prefers!!

they give nice weather next week so all should be good! So, concreting tomorrow, back filling drain trenches, ready for Monday, and I’m going to have Friday off,, I shall take Vilma shopping, get some gear for myself, and then on Saturday I have two more jobs to price,, one garden wall, and a large patio,,

I have no idea when I’m going to get time for these, but if there happy to wait, or let me do it weekends, then that’s good !!

so that’s about it,, Richard,my customer has posted on my Facebook page, last week and he’s going to update on Thursday, tomorrow,, which is nice! He takes pictures every day! He’s obsessed,, Lololol.

ok, I shall chat later, enjoy your evening and week! Xxxxxx

[ianthebuilder]
