With all the new members we have, and only so few bothering to introduce themselves, I was wondering if there are any brickies/chippies/builders amongst the ones we don't know about.
As the wife is tied up helping out on widening the M6 motorway, I need someone to do a couple of jobs for me.
I need someone who is within easy striking distance of Crewe in South Cheshire.
I require approx a 4ft square hole knocking in a wall and a double glazed window fitting, that would include lintels fitting, matching existing brickwork and plastering up, and of course, fitting the window to a very good standard. There might be a cable in there somewhere that will require pushing to one side.
Also I require a fairly substantial frame making out of timber, so that I can put an open clear roofed porch on the side and back of my house. I would have done this work myself a while back, but circumstances now prevent me from doing such things.
I reckon a weeks work (or even less, but I am willing to pay for a week even if the work is finished earlier). I am not after a cowboy, just someone who will do a good job for a fair rate of cash in hand. Hearty sustenance and beverages will be provided during the day. I will provide all materials if necessary, as and when you tell me what is needed. I expect to be ready for the work to start in about 8 weeks. I could assist in a limited way, you hold it while I hit it type.
It would really suit a RELIABLE professional who is suffering in these hard times, and needs a little work to keep his head above water.
All the so called workers that are interested or available in my area all walk with bowed legs and wear stetsons, and are talking telephone numbers. I would prefer not to have the jobs done than submit to them.
PM me if interested. I will keep it open for two weeks, then I will have another search in my area for a good tradesman.
John
