Oof yeah, appreciate it. It happened this morning and it was my first rodeo and I was totally unprepared as I'd worken up late (dead phone) so whatever notes and planning I had planned to go over that morning just went out the window.
Still, I got 600 pounds less which is 400 pounds more than I wanted to negotiate, but I'll take it. Took a few arrows too in the sense that quick fixes he would have happily done are now up to me to do, so I need to get up a ladder this weekend for some emergency grouting, and also need to fix the wonky electrics. Ah, whatever it's done
