    Ok now but our conservatory erection last year was a disaster. We used the builders they recommended to do the base and it took three months. Weeks would go by and nobody would turn up.

    At least you've not had the f-ing around I've had with my neighbours at the back.

    I made a garage 300mm higher than I had planning permission for, so I could construct a 2m room in the trusses, but neighbours thought the garage was having a flat roof, not a 15ft pitched roof and now blocks the light out to 3 semi detached houses behind.

    Planning now full approved after a 6 months delay...

    So it another couple of week wait.

    F'ing h3ll!!!!

    Luckily I've been able to WFH so no money lost.
