Rich
I am lucky enough to live in a very nice part of the country, I have Lymington one side of me full of rich people and Sandbanks the other full of filthy rich people so I tend to get some pretty nice work. However I also see some terrible work and awful workmanship, so I wanted to tell you all about a jobI was told about this week, just incase you thought that money gets you good tradesmen...
The house is worth £22m, Harry rednapp (spelling?) lives on the same road and rumour has it Tom Cruise is looking to buy there. The builder had a felt roof put on this house, painted it green and sold it as a copper roof. The same builder was getting behind his plans so he told the plasterers to mix white paint in with the plaster to save time and money on getting painters in. When they had finished it looked awful so the builder tells the buyers that it is Italian polished plaster. And finally the steam room is tiled with marble mosaics with LED lights in the grout joints, it looked lovely but there is not 1 movement joint in the entire house, maybe they had ran out of silicone?
Just thought Id share this with you as I wasnt sure if I wanted to laugh of cry...
