The saga of workmen, or lack of reminds me of a childhood rhyme

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away

No, there has been no visitations again this week.
We await Monday, tomorrow.

Diary of a house renovation

They assured us they were starting work week commencing June 1.
No-one came.
After many non-replied to phone messages we eventually spoke to a human on Thursday 4th
He assured us all work would commence June 8th
No-one came
Several phone calls and non replies later when the anger smoke was to be seen rising from ourselves, another assurance from the Project Manager(the architect), here after called the PM because he is about as efficient, that someone would come on the 12th (tomorrow) to at least stop the rain coming in. Watch this space.
He also assured us, though his assurances now are hollow promises to us, that the builder will grace our project on 15th and he himself, the PM, will hold a site meeting on 16th. We will not hold our breath.
