Yep.
Totally agree.
But in the relative gloom inside the building on an overcast day it didn't look (to my eyes anyway,) to be too bad.
But when I saw it outside on a beautiful clear day the difference was glaringly obvious, and reflected badly upon whoever did the matching.
It's definitely not a job that could be called 'good quality'; and I'm refusing to accept it.
It still has to go to Village Autos to finish having the tv dish and solar panels installed, its also got to go back to Merv Lucas to have the engine computer 'set' properly, as we only did what was necessary to get it mobile for its debut at the Nationals, and these people have still got 'tidy-up' jobs to do.
As well as that it has to go back to Richard Cardiff to get the lighting installed and the 240 volt (mains,) power system finalised...
So any procrastination by Broker creates ripples further out along the chain.
(Mixed metaphors there; but you get my drift...)
It's also due for its next Certificate of Fitness 5th December.
I also have to arrange for it to be checked for its Self Containment Certificate...but when?
It's impossible to organise a date for that when I don't know where it will be, or even if it will be mobile at any given point.
And there's a whole host of other relatively minor jobs that I'm wanting to do myself on it before we start using it.
Sheesh!
Rattle your dags man and get it done!
But get it done properly!johnboy
