Then it became difficult. They asked " What you want build it from."
I thought for a second, the answer seemed obvious, "wood." They did ok, no complaints and the price was right. That was over ten years ago. The place works but is still not finished. The upper is like being in a barn and that's ok as I will maybe finish it if and when I'm there to see it done to my liking. You could say that I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Good luck with it and try not to sweat the small stuff.
Thanks FL... you are right of course, but the frustrating thing is... he basically wasted 7 MONTHS, when we could have got someone else to do it. I believe, and hes a nice guy, helped us since this incident, that he was ALWAYS not going to be able to do it, mainly through work commitment. In all we 'lost' over 8 months to peeps who told they could when in fact they could not!

For me, when you add that delay to my situation with regards to still working, away from the build site, its then more difficult to make other arrangements for progressing the build in general.
