Yesterday I was interviewed by George and Paul on 2UE. I thought I was so clever recording it over the net so that I could post it here later… Unfortunately I screwed up so you missed the bit about the lovely plumber who offered to take off his boots and this sage advice I repeated from another renovator…
Earlier in the week Jayne, a blogger over at Webchild and also a renovator, reviewed my book. I couldn’t help but giggle knowingly when I read the following. And I loved it so much I repeated it on air.
Here’s what she wrote:
“As to the renovating procedure in toto, let me just say that everything the battle-worn renovators before me have said is completely true - tradesmen who don’t turn up, messes of apocalyptic proportions, delays and more delays, legal loopholes, blood, sweat and tears. Of course when I was told this prior to our own project all I heard was “Blah, blah, blah, Egyptian crystal chandelier, blah, blah, blah, open living area, blah, blah, blah, walk-in wardrobe with extra shoe storage.” I wish I had paid attention.”
Read the rest here.
