This site originated when a dear friend, a retired lady, spent the majority of her life savings on building work to extend her son and blind daughter-in-law’s house to give her hrandchildren a bedroom each. Unfortunately the builder she chose was hopelessly incompetent. This is a record of the ways in which, with hindsight, he might have been revealed as such before it was too late. If it should help just one orher person avoid the same fate, it will have served its purpose. And if you have been unfortunate enough to have run into a cowboy builder, don’t blame yourself. You’ve been conned, and we are all vulnerable to conmen.
