Not really AIBU but I want my message to come across the right way.
I have a tradesman who's an acquaintance/casual friend coming to do some work in my house at the end of the month. He'll liaise with me and my housemates to find a suitable day.
I wanted to send a message saying, "you can start on the 28/08 is fine if you like, as I'll be out of the house all day, and I'll only be back briefly at around 4pm to collect a bag."
Does this sound like I'm implying, 'it's fine for you to come round then because I'm not there, and I don't want to see you'. The man is a friend, and it isn't a big deal, but I don't want to sound rude either.
Maybe I'm just overthinking.
