But you're right mate I love it, I bask in everything turning to shit, when the guy came to lay my grey drive and it came out a bright yellow I was estatic with joy as I got to come on here and moan about it.

But you must have been loving it as you offered the horses arse another $300 to put his **** up right. Now am I missing something?

Fraser, bearing in mind, everything that has gone wrong, why, considering you're not working, did you not stand and watch what the concreter was doing and stop him making a mistake. I think I would have done.

Yep, that's our bedroom carpet for sure! When the fitter proudly stood back and showed off his handy work he said "Look, it's only joined in three places!' :eek:

We've still got tram lines going down one side of the room. "Mr carpet fitter...it's not blended in yet and you said it would." :rolleyes:

To me, that appears to be a statement that you intend to come across as a fact!!

I have NO problem with anyone having their own opinion, either one that I agree with, or not....which, IMO, doesnt seem to be the way with you!! What I do have a problem with is people making statements that are intended to be believed as a fact...without anything to back it up!! We can all say "I have friends that have said this, done this, experienced this"...but that does NOT make it fact!!

In my post I was not rude to you, in fact I said I hoped you got it sorted out...but in your typical style, if someone doesnt "Awww, poor Fraser", you get petty, obnoxious and downright rude!!

But, hey....keep it up....

Yeah I was loving it mate, I looked out to bright yellow/orange driveway my house is on clay every time it rainsit turns into a swamp and mud gets walked all through the house.

The guy said he'd seal it grey and if I wasn't happy with that he'd come round and rip it out with a bobcat and probably damage all the render in the process, I wouldn't allow him to that and if it kicks off it's just me, rachel and two small kids in the house, he was at fault he wouldn't admit it and the only option was to seal it, I said to him it was a mistake, which it was and I'd meet him half way for replacing the concrete and he'd have to do a days labour for nothing he refused,

If in the Uk I wouldn't have stood for it, but I really wanted my kids to see it kicking off didn't I, so I swallowed it.

Do a feel good about it, of course I don't I want to rip his throat out.

They throw the colour on from a bag It takes about 10 minutes I did notice but once it's in it's in.

The back looked really good as well and still does all be it in the wrong colour but you can't really see it until theypower wash it off.

His work's good he just made a mistake with the colour.

I have to say that it comes across that you believe that to be intended as a fact, rather than just your opinion, but I think I need alcohol to confirm it and that is a fact :rolleyes:

Put it this way nearly everyone we've spoke to has had problems with their builders, some were really happy and good luck to them.

So to me it would appear typical and it does, I didn't say it was typical did I?

OK..OK....OK....

Everyone has an opinion....and everyone's opinion is based on their own perceptions. FACT.

In that sense...EVERYONE is right. FACT.

That's why there is no right or no wrong, just differences in views / opinion. FACT.

So......lets get a few :beer: cos it's Friday night.....and have a group hug:D

[click on piccie and I'll give yer a big hug:D ]

Don't let them wind you up fraser you have enough to worry about without being told your wrong on here when any sane person can see your right.
