The bastards! They're fishing for more work!
What was their reason for taking the chimney pot off?!

[teamster1975]

They said the courses had crumbled under the pot, necessitating it.
It's okay as the quote included pointing and sorting out the big chimney and removing the little one.

Oh fair enough, I didn't realise they'd already quoted for it.
Ask them whether you have got lead flashing at the base of the stack.

What I'm not keen on is the fact that on my side of the house it's just lath and felt until monday

And this week I have mostly been... trying to get to the bottom of the D8's oil leak(s). I've also flushed the gearbox and added some molibden..moli....stuff that's improved it greatly. Got no time for hobbies

My uncle does the airplane stuff, he wins pots with them. My dad just did static line stuff when he was a lad but I know those tiny little glowplug motors run on nitromethane (think drag cars) and rev up to something insane.

Soft close toilet seats are for real men

But only if they're 3'6 and have one of those toilet seats that keeps falling down

kitchen stuff is for women

But they are for women! Those that habitually slam cupboard doors and wake their men folk up when it's not meal time
