Called in to give an estimate on the way home, three bed semi in a
reasonable area. Nice lady in late 50's, obviously quite religious judging
by the various icons/pictures knocking about, just moved in a week ago.

Standard 'moving in' jobs list as we wandered about the house, until we came
to (what had been) the airing cupboard.

" I don't know what they have done in here" she remarked as she opened the
door.

Entire interior lined with heavy duty aluminium foil, three batten
lampholders above three slatted shelves :-)

She was shocked almost to the point of hysteria when I told her why I
thought it had been done :-)

You need individual 20A supplies to do it properly.

And airing cupboards are too small for a proper harvest.

Customs and Excise did a swoop on a converted farm building locally.

They were disappointed to discover it was heated to protect stored

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth"
saying something like:

You need individual 20A supplies to do it properly.

Eh? ********.

And airing cupboards are too small for a proper harvest.

********.

I suggest you look into micro-harvesting.

What has this entire missive have to do with D I Y - and what have the facts
in the first paragraph to do with you anyway - or don't you believe in
client confidentiality?

After reading this (and other posts that you have made), if I were looking
to have some works done (and a fairly large raised balcony deck is being
considered), I certainly wouldn't be looking to employ your firm to do them
now (and I live within your area by the way and have actually taken a look
at your website after it was recommended by a client of yours).

BTW, there is more than one reason for the set-up you described in your last
paragraph (and all are perfectly legal), but I suppose your life must
revolve about sensationalism - a bit like the tabloid press!

It has nothing to do with DIY, its just mildly amusing to the regulars here.
And since I haven't named the client or given her address, client
confidecialty doesn't come into to it you idiot.

I wish the builder of my house had told his customer
the owner/designer/paymaster that he was an idiot
to have the main roof supports sitting on a lintel over the middle of a

Posh new docks bit, some residents with an inflated idea of their own

No, sort of an expensive docklands bit. Loony bin is elsewhere but the
original Borstal is just up the hill and over a bit...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "T Williams" valid-email
saying something like:

What has this entire missive have to do with D I Y - and what have the facts
in the first paragraph to do with you anyway - or don't you believe in
client confidentiality?

You are the Tiscali ****** and I claim my five pounds of primo bud.

After reading this (and other posts that you have made), if I were looking
to have some works done (and a fairly large raised balcony deck is being
considered), I certainly wouldn't be looking to employ your firm to do them
now (and I live within your area by the way and have actually taken a look
at your website after it was recommended by a client of yours).

BTW, there is more than one reason for the set-up you described in your last
paragraph (and all are perfectly legal), but I suppose your life must
revolve about sensationalism - a bit like the tabloid press!

Dear Mr Williams
Your honesty in not posting this anonymously does you credit but could
I respectfully suggest that perhaps you may have jumped in a bit
hastily in that there is absolutely no breach of confidentiality of
the client in this post? Even, supposing by some complete fluke, one
of the readers of this e-group were to guess (not prove) the identity
of said, mid-50s religious lady, somewhere in the area, so what? She
has moved in and the allegation (implied not proven) that her house
*may* have been used for the inferred process does *her* no harm.
You may have every right not to like the tenor of his posts and the
MH's forthright terminology but at least give that as the reason (or
whatever other reason you care) for not using him but, for sure, it is
not a lack of confidentiality in *this* case. Personally, I would
judge the worker by the technical competence of the posts and, in most
cases, he is dead right. I have experience of several thousand
builders/handymen in my work over the last 40 years and the MH is a
cut above most of them by a country mile.

Mr George,

I'm glad that you approve of him, and the reference that you give is
commendable (and I take note of your "not a lack of confidentiality in
*THIS* case", and its implication), but alas, I will not be employing him.
