[QUOTE="dottigirl, post: 901988, member: 50336"] Oh yes, I can find a few of them. My mother did some fantastic work on the place - she never called someone in who would do a worse job than she could manage. The only time she swore was when doing DIY - I can remember her spending HOURS getting a cooker hood millimetre-perfect and I had never heard language like that from her. Turned the air blue. Once, she gave in and paid a tiler* to do a small job...and redid the work herself as soon as he left as it was so badly done, she couldn't bear to look at it. *Her selection of tradesman was mainly at fault - she usually got whoever was available, and around here the good ones are so busy, they rarely return calls/messages as they have enough work already. Since I've moved here - one guy came to quote for the kitchen job took him a couple of weeks to come and I heard nothing back from him for over a fortnight, despite chasing it. Had an electrician pop by for the same job...then nothing for five days, by which time I'd found someone else. However, her tools weren't so great, she didn't have the knowledge for finishing, and standards dropped a bit when she was unwell. You would laugh at some of the...interesting bits of DIY that I'm discovering. Including the tiling. I'll pop some pics up when I can. [/QUOTE]
