We moved in last July and the small garden desperately need doing. Rotivate, turf, decking, trellis and a shed. So we tried to get quotes. I say try, no one was interested as the job was too small. Eventually got a quote, agreed, he didn't turn up. Start all over again. This is now the third time. Someone was supposed to start tomo but i haven't heard a peep since we agreed the price and date (3k for 1 weeks work including materials, so he will get about £1200 before tax - i agree it's not the job of the century but still!) on 4 April.
When he came round to give the quote i told him how messed about we'd been for a almost a year and said if he didn't want to do then please tell us. He was adamant, he was desperate for work and was just finishing a couple of other small jobs so would be able to start 30 April.
He emailed quote and said he'd be in contact nearer the time re access and key etc. Since then i haven't heard a bean - nada, nothing, nish!
So i suppose we are going to have to start the palaver all over again.
I appreciate the jobs small and boring but surely about £800 net for a weeks work isn't too bad is it? And why not let me know you've changed your mind? This is the 3rd time this has happened!
I am 22 weeks pregnant and want the garden nice so i can sit out there eating biscuits while on Mat leave!
