Paid the lads until the end of the week, but finished today. I've asked them to do a couple of hours in the morning WD40'ing the tools, changing blades, charging batteries, maybe wash the van etc.
Back on the 8th provided I don't have any skiing hiccups. Finished a 7 month contract out in the back of beyond, working for some wealthy but nice folk. The last job we did was the image below. Can anyone spot the difference.....

Well I was planning to be off all this week, then a mate asked me to help him refurb 3 windows: timber subframe steel crittall type opening sashes, individual georgian leaded lights. It’s a listed building, built 1700s, windows are in a right state, we’ve in the process of remaking 8 of the leaded lights (individually soldered lead cane), remove bottom rails scarf jambs and the brickwork below the cill was a split course and it’s all crumbling so will be needing to that too. “Couple of days” said my mate 
I had promised to do some work at stuff at home, now a bit delayed and in the dog house. Oops

Im taking Jan off to make and fit a new kitchen at home

I did give you a clue though..
Been a good job overall. We contracted to knock the connies down and re-build them. Ended up copping for all the groundwork too...
