I wonder how many more of these I'll be making over the next 12 months? Our last project involved five builders, who were furnished with several cups of hot tea every day for eight months (not to mention their favourite 'Happy Faces' biscuits, teacakes, baked potatoes, soup, calor gas heater in the winter and cold beer in the summer).
Unfortunately for us they fell out quite spectacularly with our neighbours (who's house they were extending simulataneously) so all the brewing up and provision of toilet facilities fell to us - as did the plugging in of power tools to work on nextdoor's house, such was their reluctance to knock on the door and speak to them. Anyway, it worked in our favour in the end because our hospitality earned us several 'free' jobs including the laying of a patio and the laying of a quarry tiled floor in our hall. There's a lesson in that.
