Plumber meant to arrive at 9am.
We text at 9.45 asking eta.
They reied sating they've had a nightmare morning and will be here by 11. We ask if they have enough time to complete the job, yes yes they say.
They arrive at 12.45pm.
They park on our drive and dh says the missus has gone grocery shopping pls can you move your van to the carpark (two doors down) so they pop their stuff at the door and toddle off to move the van.
I arrive and they are parked up in the carpark, but nowhere to be seen.
They reappear at half one and start work.
At 5 ish they said the tiles need an hour to dry, we've got the toilet set up so we will go get a bite to eat, come back, grout and finish off.
They haven't yet returned...
Dh said one of them was a football fan. AIBU to think they are now in a pub watching the match?
Also, any guesses as to when they will return?

The toilet is still on my front lawn!

Well possibly or they have gone for their tea and will be back soon.

Dh has just text them. We will see what they say.

He also went out the front to see if he could see the van. There is no toilet anymore. Let's hope they had the same thought as us and took it with them!

Do you have a toilet?

BucketOfPlumbers · 15/01/2022 20:14

They are back. With the toilet, thank goodness! Much buffing and puffing about the grouting. They did offer to come back tomorrow morning to finish off when they returned Hmm
