cuttsie Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm sick as a parrot. We found out we had a wobbly floor board now't drastic but wobbly. Now its only been wobbly for five years and I must admit her on the settee has asked me to fix it about once a day. Any way last week her who must be ebayed decided to! get a man in! And as our house belongs to the corperation it was not going to cost me owt so I hid behind the Star and let her get on we it! Disaster has struck! we now have three men in residence to fix our wobbly floor board and they have ripped up the whole bleedin lot as they say we have got woodworm. Not only that but my sky box has had to be unplugged and have been told we will not be able to use our room for three days due to the fumes from the woodworm killer spray. Now I have been in the building trade for fifty years or more and I have never seen a pantomime like this for one square foot of dead bloody woodworm ,three men, three vans, one gaffer and up to now fifteen cups of tea. The next time her over there says I will get a man in I will jump to attention and come out of retirement and get stuck into her urgent job my self.

Ousetunes Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Now I have been in the building trade for fifty years are more and I have never seen a pantomime like this for one square foot of dead bloody woodworm ,three men, three vans, one gaffer and up to now fifteen cups of tea. There was a power cut at my place of employment a few months back. Some contractors who were digging up the road across from us severed the main electric cable. I watched as no fewer than seven men (in obligatory hi-viz jackets and helmets) watched as one bloke, who was stood in the hole, rectified the matter. NB. I didn't offer any cups of tea....

DeathAxe Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Women always think they are right you mean :-). Yeh British work men, 10 mins of work with a 2 hour break. The Amey road works are a testament to this. Dig something up. Come back in 6 months time. Drink tea go home. It is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie824 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I had a wobbly floorboard, happened after the council came out to fix an exploded joint on a water pipe and I had water pouring through the ceiling. Anyway, with all the kerfuffle that took, I thought I'll just do the bloomin job myself. So when the carpet was replaced I hammered in the nails that the council workmen had left out No more wobbly floorboard and I can sneak up on the kids when they're messing about at bedtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
