We responded to an advert regarding a builder, we contacted him & met him at the house, he told us that he had his own building company for 27 years but had now retired but did jobs in his spare time, he measured up & did seem to know his stuff, he told us that he’d price it up & let us know in a week, that was over three weeks ago, just contacted him & he replied, “can’t do it, I have 17 jobs lined up & wouldn’t be able to get round to doing yours until September next year” wanker.
