I do have to say it has been very hard work, very rewarding but nonetheless very hard, with a wage bill of over £3k per week I had to be on the ball, not easy when I have been semi retired for over 6 years, but we got there and I also have to praise my workers, they have done everything I asked even in bad conditions, and we have come out within contract time, so I will be giving them a bonus out of my own pocket, Rick

love Jacks, these two are the seventh we have had, they are so individual it takes a while to learn each one, Rusty and Susa are still under 1 year so they are also still learning us, but thankfully they get on so well together, some times I have to leave them at home, rusty stands at the gate all day waiting for me, susa is not so bothered, but when home wants to be on my lap all the time, Rick

Yes mate I am, more so because it came out well within time and also within budget, had thought this was the last large job I would do as I am supposed to be retired but another customer has just told me he is purchasing a derelict restaurant, and guess who has the job of refurbishing it? kitchen for a start is to be moved complete from middle of shop to the far end with all the plumbing etc that that will involve, plus extractors and drainage where there is none, but got to switch off now till the new year, Rick
