BUILDERS
I heard recently of a case where a woman bought a bungalow for her mother so that she would be close by. The mother had had a fall and badly broken her leg and was in hospital and convalescent home for some weeks.
Work needed to be done to the bungalow and so a number of builders were invited to quote for the work. They visited the property, were interviewed and submitted their quotes.
The work included rewiring, replumbing, central heating, new en-suite shower, lavatory and wash hand basin, new bathroom suite, installing a number of handrails, removal of a couple of internal walls and building a conservatory. A mixture of tradesmen where to be involved.
The work was to take two months to complete. This would leave 3-4 weeks before the mother was due to move in to have painting and decorating carried out and carpets laid and for the furniture to be moved in from the old house.
The day the furniture arrived the builders had still not finished and until they did some of the decorating could not be completed and the carpets could not be fitted. The evening when the mother arrived the plumber was still working in the en-suite shower room and as he was leaving a check was made to see what had been done. To everyones disbelief the plumber was leaving without having fitted taps in the ensuite. He said they were not available and he was to collect them in a couple of days. Do yo have a similar experience?

you know any professional and trades people that offer a good service to
women? Please share them with the rest of us. There are lots of Internet
web sites springing up offering goods and services but it is the same as
looking in any other directory you do not know what you are getting until
you try it. On this site, hopefully, we can find good companies that we
can all share.
