Some people have asked me why my bathroom renovations are taking so long. Here is the answer:
DAY 1: Man #1 arrives to demolish the bathroom. He spends 6 hours working and now there's no turning back. I have no bathroom.
DAY 2: Man #2 arrives and spends 4 hours working
DAY 3: Man #3 arrives and spends 2 hours working.
DAY 4: Man #4 arrives and spends 1 hour working until he runs out of supplies and takes off to the shop to buy what he requires. He never returns.
DAY 5: Man #4 returns rapidly followed by the Supervisor who brings the materials that man #4 was meant to have purchased the day before. They spend 2 hours chatting and staring at the work done so far and then go home.
DAY 6 and 7 are the weekend
DAY 8: No one turns up as Man #4 has called in sick (He has had a rough weekend and needs the Monday to sober up)
DAY 9: The Supervisor turns up and asks where Man #4 is. He rings Man #4 and discovers that he is now working on another job.
DAY 10: Man #5 turns up but goes away again because he can't do what he has to because Man #4 hasn't finished........
I am sure that my bathroom will eventually get finished!
oh no, mum has discovered blogging!!

ReplyDeleteWell, it seems you are a whole range of steps ahead of my bathroom renovations! At this stage I'm recovering from a massive coronary after receiving my first quotation. I think I'll go and learn how to tile myself and then go and splurge the money on a first class ticket on a luxury liner!
