The anticipation of waiting for carpet fitters!

[Gucci]

I'm sorry. But what else can I do? I'm surrounded by furniture stacked up, waiting for (potentially) a cowboy to fit carpet for all of upstairs. I CANNOT stand the waiting for the (potential) arrival and the excuses for why the job cannot be done....

1. They ain't give me no gripper mate
2. Your boards are not close enuff
3. I noticed a Merc on the drive and will try and get more cash from 'im

Please Please Please just do a good job, no quibble on price etc etc AND GO

Thanks, that feels better now..ish

seriously though, we bought a brand new flat in leicester.. the wooden floor fitters delayed the fitting by a week because they didnt have the correct glue!!

I even offered to go and get it from B&Q but no, they had only assigned the morning to the job and they couldnt wait around... never use Carpet Right again..

I had that with a fitter once. He said, they'll ave to rearrange the fittin mate. I said why not? No glue mate. How much is it? £3.50. Errrr, right, so decision is, rearrange or part with £3.50?

When you put a nail through a copper pipe, just clean the surface, tap a small thread and screw in a brass screw and solder over the head, a screw from an electric switch is perfect 3mm

all done in 10 mins

parents werent happy at the sight of a mushy downstairs celing lying on the brand new carpet.

If the floor boards creak as the pipes warm up,, just put in screws along side the nails and it will be a whole lot better
