LimerickBuild

This blog is an attempt to record my first attempt at building a house. Whether it will be my last attempt is a decision I won't make until this one is finished. Hopefully you'll get some updates on how its going, a look at the site and current work being done. I'll try to be witty in the recordings as there is no point getting stressed about it. smile and work your way through it is the only way :o)

2nd last word

thought i'd have just 1 moaning corner.... everyone is entitled to complain about 1 thing once a day :o) Any more than that and no one will listen to ya.

Let down... (October)
1 stonemason never turned up. had booked him for early Sept. by Mid Oct no sign of him and i'd arranged another team to tackle the job.

Colour Render providers....(Sept)
service from this crowd was terrible, delays on deliveries and slightly out on 2nd batch, lucky weather in Sept/early Oct was good and didn't delay plasterer when the product did turn up.

Final words

Its mid June 2007, ( 10 weeks since the ditch was opened) and i'm still plodding along with the job. Getting complimented for my strong will, good patience and overall calmness with managing the job. I guess if you really want something you'll handle all the stress and hassle that gets thrown at you. Maybe through work and its constant re-scheduling struggle, I have learnt how to manage the constant juggling of time and requesting trademen to turn up at (what hopefully is) the right time!
