Slow. Builders are now 200% over their estimate date. Got until the 22nd here and then I'm forced to be back at the house. Trying to get them interested in finishing the work.

Ffs. Sounds like they're taking the piss. Did the insurance get them in?

What happened was the company who hired then found out the foreman was gaslighting and fired him and his entire crew.

So all the plans, details, layouts etc we had discussed disappeared with that foreman.

Not particularly happy about that.

I can imagine. Like you don't have enough on your plate.

That and now it's started hoying down with rain the back doors are leaking.

It's enough to make you real cheerful.

FFS....That sounds about as shit as things can be.

That's pretty crappy, is the place you are in at the moment no longer available after that date? Can't see what difference it makes if the crew were doing a bit of their own work as long as it wasn't on the firm's time, seems a stupid decision to sack m that has now made the firm look bad

Managed to unearth my spare carburetor by climbing under the collapsed wall of the garage.

Replaced the missing screws, and now the carburetor is one whole piece again the car runs a fair bit better. Funny, that.

It's good to be back on the road again.
