Sorry @DanClarke reading that back it seemed a bit strong. Maybe your missus could explain that you've done a load of work doing the conservatory roof and need a couple of weeks rest. And if you do any work at his house you'll need his and her considerable help

Is OK mate, I didn't find it at all unreasonable. I do need to say NO and just back out of helping far more often. Sadly it is often SWMBO that guilt-trips me into helping "her babies". Go figure.
I have told my Missus how I feel about it and she will discretely relay it back to my lad and also reinforce the message to the DIL that a lot of work has been done for them.
Luckily for me Tom has bailed out till Sunday/next week so I can go back to doing my own stuff. :)
 
Morning All :D
Lovely Sunny Day again here. :)
My right knee is complaining about 3 x 8yd skip fillings and both my biceps are like jelly after this week. :( Boy am I sore.
But today I shall be luxuriating in a bath of "No OPDIY" and Swanning around Clarke Towers like I own the place....Oh, hang on I do own the place. ;)
I will still nip up the builders merchants for a sheet of Plasterboard as the plasterer wants me to cover the reveals with a tiny strip of board even though the reveal is <1".
Have a splendid day everyone. :D

Our foxes & Badgers dig under the gravel boards of the fencing to continue on their path. It takes determined efforts to get them to chose a different route.
I know what you mean about the weather, it has been unusually dry for April.

She's right you know, and now you've told her about the morgidge she can see that this year or next there ain't much in it.
Better alive in a house with a small morgidge than a wake in one that has been paid off.
Don't ride yourself so hard, the race to the graveyard is one you don't want to win!
I am sure you are that good that you will always have work. Don't worry about having to pass on a couple of jobs.
Know how you feel though. Have a mate who is always scared that each job is going to be his last, and it never is!
