Direct them to Cosentino up at Nutts Corner, they do Silestone and Dekton........you'd need several credit cards to pay for it

She mentioned Silestone, thought it wasn't that expensive??!!

Some of youse boys must have the balls in the wife's handbag by the sound of it. Lighting consultant my arse. Tell her to wise up.
Never ever let the woman deal with tradesmen or suppliers. They be rubbing their hands when they see them coming.

Any boy who says he wear the trousers in the house is either pissed and sitting at the bar, or a bloody liar...which are you?

[Brick Tamlin]

Neither. I just don't believe in letting her run amok and vice versa. If things are equal then when it comes to home improvements etc both parties agree or it doesn't get bought. Simple.

I'm perfectly happy to let her pick the majority of things, I've no eye for decorations and what works with that colour scheme and so on.. Picking the TV and barbecue set is about my interests are. Though I did pick the last sofa, mainly because she couldn't decide taking ages and I was getting pissed off!

Hell Id be happy to use the money for the kitchen and go on holidays!!

I found out years ago that you just nod the head and say "thats ok love, whatever you want", works wonders

The worst words a man can hear from his other half is "I was just thinking.....". 99 times out of 100 that involves spending big money.

Anyone paid for painters recently for the interior of a new build? Whats the rough rate? We have a 4bed 2800sqft house, was wondering what it will cost. 5k? 10k?

[Nailer]

Internal painting for a 2800 ft2 house should be around 5k if the doors are pre-finished, add another £25 per door if they require painting too.
