Full Metal Wheelbarrow

You will no doubt be stricken with stunned amazement to learn that we turned down the Dolphin man's suggestion that we should pay him a sum vastly exceeding our projected budget for a job that only remotely resembles what we actually want and involves us organising building work ourselves before it can even start.

Having inexplicably refused this exceedingly kind offer, we have instead engaged the services of a nice chap called Ben, who is a plumber. He was recommended to us by Rob's friend Tom and called round a couple of weeks ago to measure up and assess the job. This took him in the region of twenty minutes, which compared favourably with the four hours that the Dolphin man needed. Also in his favour was the fact that he actually listened to what we wanted... His quote was  far more sensible too,  so, all being well, he and his minions will be starting work on the bathrooms in early October.
