We've just had a quote for £35k but that includes taking out the back wall, removing one of the two corners and new steel going the width of the house. Extension is 3m x 5m across the back and 3m x 3m on the side return (which will be a utility room).
You are spot on with the silly high quote, a former neighbour is a builder and he said exactly that to me, if he doesn't want the job he prices it way over the odds and if the punter bites he can't say no on making a killing. Fecking annoying though they should have the decency to just say it's not the job for us.
The only times I ever quoted over was if the punter was a dickhead who thought he knew more than me about the job or for Asian folk etc who do like to bargain, haggle or want extras at no cost, any other time it was that is my price I can start on x date take it or leave it
In a 100mph gale?
Doesn't sound too bad based on what you told me about the job...must be about two years ago now!
Silly as it sounds, and apologies if 'sucking eggs', make sure that everything is included - I have heard more than one tale of getting half way through a job to find out that something that it would seem reasonable to assume is included isn't...electrics, plumbing, windows and, in particular, decorative finishes....isn't
It prolly was about two years but it was never going to happen until I repatriated.Doesn't sound too bad based on what you told me about the job...must be about two years ago now!

I'm leaving all the details to Mrs P; whilst I'm retarded, she most definitely is not. The £35k includes everything except the electrics......... our heating engineer will do that (he recommended the builder that's given us our first quote). He's done a fair bit of work for us and is about as straight as they come.
Should make a nice shed that.
I hope it’s South facing and not some ‘awkward’ locationIt’s a greenhouse actually, but what the hell
It's a little known fact that there are planning restrictions on cctv on private as well as commercial properties.
Do you have any interesting little known facts ?
Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors.
I can fart Beethoven’s fifth.
My dear late brother played the saxophone on Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.
Got paid £30 for doing it....and the cheque bounced

I thought it was £27. And he never got paid. Bloody good sax solo that. Respect.
