Default The first tradesmen in my house in 20 years

because I fix everything myself.
However, free installation of fibre internet and free modem and other
gear was tempting.
So, they arrived, and were perturbed to find that a trench needs to be
dug for the conduit. They didn't have a tape measure so they used mine to
measure how much conduit they would need, since they didn't bring enough.
They've gone away, and someone else will dig the trench.
And I'll need to stay home for another day.
Today I dug most of the trench, because there were lots of tree roots to
chop out. And I'll bet they wouldn't have brought an axe.
And they wanted to have the trench under 8 inches of concrete that had my
expensive tiles on top. But it's not going there.
