We have a pretty average sized house, where originally there was a separate living and dining room. The previous owners removed the dividing wall and built and extension on the dining room, so the dining room part is now over 20 ft long.
I want to put the wall back up, to make a cosy living room area and make the dining room section a kind of family room, so Dc's clutter and noise can be shut out of the living room iyswim.
Whole area will then need re-plastering as it has nasty aretex (sp?)on atm and we have been re-wired, which has made a mess of the walls and ceiling.
I have now had 5 people come to have a look and not one of them has got back to me with a price. When I (reluctantly) chase them up they say oh yes I'll drop it round today, but never do. We are in the South East, so it has always been difficult, but I thought builder were finding work hard to come by atm. What am I doing wrong?
