Ten signs that your builder is shonky

Danger Danger Will Robinson

These are the sure signs your builder is dodgy.  
Collected from my builder and architect friends on the web. We really have too much time on our hands………

… his favorite saying is  “She’ll be right mate”

… he follows your teenage daughter on facebook

… he uses a nail gun on a steel framed house.

… He can make it cheaper for cash

… their voice mail greeting says they work for a different company

… the only time you see him is when a progress payment is due

…  He’s always carries his mobile, but your calls  go to voicemail

… if they give you a hand written quote

… he asks to borrow YOUR tools…

… he didn’t get those exact ones you chose, but something just as good!!

… he has been broke more times than he has been married!

… he sniffs for emphasis as in “You won’t get cheaper than that mate” (beat) SNIFFF

… he thinks the word “fecking” is an adverb as in “This is a fecking big job!”

And the final way you know your builder is shonky

… if he has two mobile phones running
