The problem is that the electrician and plumber aren't part of the builder's workforce. They are independents, and have other clients too. It doesn't help when the electrician doesn't answer his phone, every time the builder tries to get hold of him! I can understand if he didn't have time to get to me, but he could have let Ali know! The plumber can't get the boiler going until he's done all his wiring.

Ali has forwarded my moaning text messages to him. He's getting frustrated too, because it makes a liar out of him, when he has told me that the electrician is coming - and he doesn't.

All I want is to be able to start and get stuff back into cupboards, and then I will be able to see where I'm going from there, and what needs to be done to clean and clear.
