I saw their silhouette move to the side as i turned my light on and stuck my head out the door then a car driving away about a minute later. Also realising this week just how much work i saved them by doing my flooring after handover and also skirtings tacked on would have saved their carpenter a bit of time and also the cleaner - my builders clean had it easy since i had concrete floors they didnt have to clean them spot the difference. at least with this heat the floor is dry within 20 seconds I have a couple of sections of flooring like this that are now covered with furniture so will have to move it at some point to clean the floor - have brought floor protectors to put under everything to make it easier.
