Try living in France!
Fortunately, I'm doing most of the work myself but the plumbing and electrics are difficult in this place so we are having the professionals in....alegedly.
When they do turn up, they are very good, cowboy builders are a rarity here (apart from the English ones of course) as tradesmen are properly qualified. The problem is getting them to turn up, even if they have already quoted, a price agreed and a date selected. The times that date passes without sight and sound of any workers!!
We will have been here for a year in June. We have an en-suite bathroom and the kitchen done. All the rest of the plumbing and wiring is still awaiting their lordship's presence.
I'm knocking walls down so I can take it out on them with the sledge hammer.
