So the neighbour's house is up (walls and roof anyway) and I think to myself, "it's been seven months since they told me it's be a couple of weeks until the fence went up, maybe I should have a chat to the neighbour and find out where we stand." Well, on Friday I see DC (douchecanoe) and comment that the house is looking good (a little lie) and I am really glad that it has gone well for them (a bigger lie). DC says he is really happy and can't wait for it to be finished. Now that the small talk is over, I ask, "So, what's happening with the fence?" he replies, "I had a phone call from the fence guy today and he says 'any day now'"
What a load of excrement! What a coincidence that a tradie has no contact with someone for seven months and then out of the blue calls the morning I confront DC. Also, why the heck would you call just to say that you'd come "any day now"? So I thought I had better call the fence guy and see what any day meant, but more importantly find out if he had actually called DC. Today I call FG (fence guy) and ask what the go was. He tells me that he has not spoken to DC for many months and wouldn't be able to do any sort of fencing for at least two months as he is currently working on a massive contract.
It looks like it's confrontation time. Again.
