Re: Hyndburn Homes - shower install
The plasterer arrived at 8am. I sensed he had not had breakfast, so I offered him scrambled egg on toast.
He declined the egg but had-
toasted home made brioche bread with real organic butter and Sainsburys organic marmalade, accompanied by Yorkshire tea with a splash of organic milk.
poor lad has a bad back and needs pampering

Re: Hyndburn Homes - shower install
How can you judge a small act of kindness as predatory
Do you always seek a reward for being nice to someone?

Re: Hyndburn Homes - shower install
No work has happened today and with less than 2 hours to the time of 'clock off' it doesn't look like it will. So much for last week's statement - 'it'll be finished by wednesday'. I have no washing facilities in my bathroom - just a lonely temporary fixed loo.
There is one interesting fact I have learned about Hyndburn Homes Repairs - their vehicles are satellite tracked on a map at HQ - four vans have parked here at various times today - so HQ will think that 4 workmen have visited this site today ( I have seen four - there may have been more - I haven't sat at the window all day) - when in fact I have had very momentary visits by just two. This is a quiet part of town to park and look busy.
I think that the work organiser maybe is a redundant brewery worker.

Re: Hyndburn Homes - shower install
Two vans have been parked up here for at least half an hour at the end of this 'working' day. Neither has been to peep at my 'bathroom' The drivers are eating and reading and clocking up some overtime.

How do you know that they haven't been on an emergency repair?
They may have worked through their lunch time to make something safe and are now grabbing a bite to eat before setting to, to finish the job.
Not everyone has the mindset of an ex Civil Servant, some people actually work(ed) for a living.

Re: Hyndburn Homes - shower install
For 3 hours today I got a plumber, a plasterer and two electricians and they worked - fast.
I might even have primitive washing facilities by the end of tomorrow
