Gavin is here again finishing off. he is a real perfectionist but it is costing us a fortune. Everything has to be rubbed down several times and then he notices another bit that he is sure we would not be able to live with, so he does that aswell. He is however, a very nice bloke,fetches us eggs and offers to get us some cheap crabs and lobsters.
Apparently we are honoured because he does not get on well with everyone. For his next job he is working down the village for Alan Bessant the builder. Alan will want Gavin to rush the job to save money but Gavin will not be rushed and is quite likely to just walk off the job if he doesn't like working there, so it might be interesting.
Duncan was also up here today picking up some more of his tools and stuff and having tea and scones. I think he is at a loose end between jobs but it is nice to see him. I have agreed to take a load of cedar lap boards that he has over from building his house and has to remove from Hamish's shed. I was going to use them for building chicken houses but that seems a waste so I have decided to use them for building a couple of sheds. Pam has spent all the money on the extension so I can no longer afford to have a shed built but Hey-Ho.
