Another fabulous day in paradise….or as near as Preston gets to paradise. I am really glad to be home tonight, its been a long day. And the good news is that tonight I managed to cook a meal with out falling asleep and burning the flat down, forgetting about it or forgetting to switch the over on, so I had a proper meal, lets hope my culinary skills continue, because its got to be said my meal tonight was a culinary delight. The type of food that should be served to kings & queens, presidents and heads of state.  

Today I have been working in Clitheroe, installing some outside lights for Fairhaven Housing Association http://www.fairhavenha.co.uk/. They are specialist in retirement housing and have some fabulous housing estates. Something I have learned while working in their estates is that elderly really appreciate having their own home. I think it gives them a sense of dignity having there own front door. So much better than residential or care homes. 

After finishing there I nipped to my mates for a cup of the murky brown liquid that passes for tea in his house, anyway I ended up repairing his electric gates which is miraculous because I know nothing about electric gates! After that I repaired a cooker, I usually stay well clear of white goods but with business being slow I thought what the hell.  

I also had some bad news (well not so good anyway) recently I started to rewire a house. I had completed the first fix (installing the cables, back boxes etc) but I had to wait for a while until the other trades had finished before I could finish off my bit. Well today I got a call form the owner telling me he wasn’t going to pay for the first fix because he had sold the house ½ finished, anyway he offered my £500 which was less that half the invoiced amount. I am not going to worry, fret or loose any sleep about it. Will make an appointment with a solicitor in the morning, then get him to sort it out. I am sick to death of people taking the piss. It’s a real problem, people often either have work done then say “sorry, times are hard at the moment”, want to pay by instalments or just refuse to pay outright because they could never afford to pay in the first instance. Its happening more and more as the recession bites, I am now going to start asking for a deposit for the materials.  

I have a good day planned tomorrow, should be busy all day and a couple of jobs to survey in the evening. 

Until next time, thanks for taking the time to read this and don’t forget to let me know what you think, I will be glad to receive comments, good or bad. 

Why don’t you follow me, nothing bad will happen!

Thanks again. Ian
