Luke,
Fat daddy,
HaydenM. Shame on you all.
Testicles are dropping back into place nicely after the chilly ride in. A tricky day of subtle work avoidance awaits. Roll on home time.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0 -
Due out on the bike later when I get home (6ish). First time since Saturday as been feeling quite tired. Will see how the legs feel.
Looks like a change in weather is coming. Going to be a little warmer with more wind for Lincolnshire.
Just got to get through another day in the office before the fun beings though.0 -
Morning, not sure which to post in!
Nippy walk in this morning, bit of mist floating around nothing much else to report0 -

I just went with the one with the most posts at the time/I wanted to reply to Luke. It wasn't my fault, I promise!0

Quite nippy this morning, but not as cold as yesterday when I left the house. Breezed through lots of irate drivers stuck in traffic caused by roadworks on the one way system, I always enjoy that. Freezing fog in the park then froze the smile on my face and it's only just thawed out. Not completely dark when I got to work, spring is coming. At least I hope it is.0 -

I actually have to deal with some of this sort of stuff at work. Quite amusing as long as I can go against my nature and be too politeLukeTC wrote:

Hired another minion today - well she hasn't signed on the dotted line yet but it's only a matter of time :twisted: Unlike that slacker Seano she seems to be a hard grafter. I even got the other minions to do the hiring (technically she's a minions minion) so double win time "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Lots of games and not fun ones today. Made up for yesterday's suprising lack of movement by parking the car on the other side of town and walking across
Wonder if tonight will be dry again0 -

However it also helps to make sure I appear as indispensable as possible :twisted:"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
If I actually pulled my finger out and worked I'd make my colleagues look even worse, I let the sales figures talk for me.Stevo 666 wrote:

Ok seeking advice, luckily not the dating type.
House purchase - No building regs for the removal of a supporting wall, was replaced https://www.dropbox.com/s/1l86uj5hxtj1idc/House13.png?dl=0
They are willing to provide indemnity insurance
Insurance broker has informed me that most lenders put in a lovely caveat which essentially stops them paying out in the cases of poor workmanship (something without regs) / where there was a known imperfection
They can apply for retrospective certificate and the local council office said they could have someone out as early as Thursday. (though if they find something wrong it could all go very wrong I imagine) The cost is around £130
Thoughts from people:
Do I ask for them to get a Certificate, knowing that time isn't months upon months?
Try and find another insurance company and take the indemnity policy
Walk away (rather not)
other ideas?0 -
If they can't get retrospective building regs approved, doesn't that mean the house might fall down?0

I need a minion to be able to do the following:-
AutoCAD
Sales
Weld
Drive
Measure
Speak to customers in a suitable manner
Manage a small workforce
Coordinate installations nation wide
Maintain records for vehicles
Maintain the works (or command sub-minions to do it)
Cope with paper work
Be well presented
Organised
Cycle (maybe)
Basically me, but just not quite as good.

Flan, The building inspector will need to open up the plaster etc to inspect the padstone, unless there is excessive photographic evidence to support the work. Even then I'd be doubtfull that they would approve it off that.
