Seems so weird, when as far as I can tell the building industry should be booming with everyone trying to build. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15020 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17006 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11547 |
