The awful truth is that they have been in that house about a year and they are still "camping".
My son is a DIY dufus (did not get the DIY gene) and so pays through the nose for "professionals".
He had a quote for the garden fencing and Patio that was over £10K. It has cost a lot less with me and Tom doing it.
Materials costs + Tom @ £150/day and me a £0/day. LOL.
Granddaughter's room needs a fitted wardrobe making, and then decorating and carpeting.
Their main bedroom need a total re-hash, and the garage needs turning into a man-cave/work-from-home office.
Tom won't be available again until September, and I shall be "busy" doing my own stuff. :)

We camped in our place in France for ages. So I knowhow they feel but then we didn't live there all year round.
To begin with, the kitchen was a metal shelving unit, a kettle, a toaster, a microwave, and a barbecue. We had two plastic bowls, one for washing up and one for washing ourselves!
The loo was connected to the waste with a flexi and it was flushed from the mains via a watering hose, at 7 bar!
The bedroom was a mattress on the floor. and two sleeping bags. We had no electricity for the first time we were over there, with snow on the ground, hence the generator!

Trades are a heck of a price and Tom is charging a decent rate.
Don't know why your son bought a house that needs so much work. My first wife and I made a real effort to always buy a place that needed nothing, or very little doing. We managed to buy three houses like that.
Still managed to find things to do on them!

Did far more since second marriage!

Think you either do DIY or you don't. My Dad was feckin hopeless, altho a brill decorator. Both Grandpas were engineers and one of them designed and built a "bungalow", made in sections and transported up to a spot on top of the cliffs some way from Hull. We'd call it a chalet nowadays.
It burned down, (holiday tenants) so he built another, bigger, better .....mad sod!

Look forward to a well-deserved time off!:):):):)

Addresses different issues.

I never said anyone was turned away but it is a fact turnout dropped.

It's estimated 3.5million people over 18 don't have photo ID in the UK.

Some of them will apply for voter ID but many won't as we all know they are among the least likely to be motivated to vote anyway and unlikely to vote Conservative if they are.

The Electoral Commission don't think in person voter fraud is a problem and it's literally their job to know.

It's a solution looking for a problem and a cynical political ploy to gain advantage.

You can argue around that all night but we both know that's true so I'll leave you to it.

your the one with the conspiracy theories, and bearing in mind most young people do have ids and the left are destroying themselves electorally with their identity politics in poorer left behind areas like the red wall ,what would be the point as labour voters are increasingly middle class virtue signallers
 
Aaand a happy apolitical start this morning to our friends in this ere (normally) happy an congenial fred. Sun is shinerin, window will be down an elbow will be out.

I don't need an identity card. I has had my jab so Boris knows who and where I am at all times now. I can also tune into the radio by fiddling wif my left ear..

Have a lovely day :)
 
Woken early by a VERY heavy rain 'shower - probably better described as a deluge. :eek:
With reluctance, the wee one has wandered out to kip under the hedge. Why he went is not known but it was his choice.
After breakfast it is Operation Caravan Dealer time in the hope that they will send someone capable of repairing the problem they have caused.
themselves. Life would be so much smoother and more enjoyable if the people employed to do a job were capable of doing it! :mad:
I hope your day goes better than mine probably will.

We are both thinking along the same lines! It is one of the biggest dealers in Wales and prides itself on its enormous selection of vans and motorhomes in the country and although this is true the whole business is failed by their after-sales service.
Just had a look at reviews on trust pilot, 59% good, 41% bad, not a very good set of figures.
If you read some of the comments, most of the good reviews are from people who have bought caravans and motorhomes, all the bad ones are about their aftersales.
