Stainless steel "bhoys"

Now, the delivery to deadline hasn't exactly been fantastic so far but tomorrow is the day the stainless steel roofers are due to turn up. It's a pretty specialist trade and not a very commonly used material in residential buildings so the companies which can fit this stuff are few and far between. Therefore, we - and the main contractor - just have to wait for the crew to turn up. Whether they show up or not is anybody's guess. I wouldn't put money on it!
