Re: Workmen


Hard to work out the size as the front is simple enough, but the back has a kitchen addition to the original house, plus a bathroom addition and loo addition as it is Victorian. Lots of bits and pieces all over the place!!

Re: Workmen


just add a couple more litres of paint onto the workings, I reckon the paint was easily less than £100, I am sure the sandtex is less than £25 for 10L and I wouldn't need any more than 20 litres.

Re: Workmen


Just wish I never let him talk me into doing the job now. The kitchen workman was great and he would of done the painting too.

I feel uneasy around this guy and he keeps on inviting himself into my house. He knows everybody's business. And he is so two faced. He was slagging my kitchen workman but was friendly to his face.

Oh well, am sure I will forget about all this in time.

Re: Workmen


Well at least it does look good, nothing worse than paying a lot and having a terrible job done. Next time he tries and invite himself in, just tell him that you have got company.

Re: Workmen


I think you have been slightly "overcharged" on the price of the paint. honestly. But just ignore the bloke he sounds like he will soon move onto someone else. Just don't get involved in his "chat" and shut the door when he tries to come in.
