Hi Guys,

so blu was saying something of me not being independant.

So i decided to get a flat based on her advice, now i found one but work needs to be done.

I need a good carpenter, electrician and handy man who can do wooden floors.

i need nice built in cupboards and wooden floors and some electrical work

If you know of any brother, father, son, uncle, friend or lady that does a good job please do let me know.

im in the southern suburbs area of CPT but if that guy needs work then location is not an issue

thank you

I'm in a similair situation as you. Last week we had our parque floors restored. Today my father in law is starting to paint our interior ceilings and walls.

When the painting is finished I need to get someone to build a built-in cupboard in my daughters room and in the garage. Then I want to build a braai and enclose the area. I want to do all this by the end of the year.

As soon as the painting is finished I will get some quotes from family or friends in the carpentry business for the cupboards. I have a cousin that does excellent work but he doesn't have any tools. When he built my parents cupboards he had to use most of his employers tools & equipment. And he is usually overloaded with official work that he rarely does any private jobs. My FIL's neighbour is also a carpenter and works from home. Such a small job should suit him perfectly.

I'll reply here if I get any decent / cheap quotes.

your cousin doesnt need alot of tools.

Apparently they cut the boards and everything for you. All you do is put them together.

and i need it done by sooner than end of the year :)

For Cupboards, look at a company like BoardPrep or CupboardValue.... they will sell you flatpack stuff.

What else needs to be done around the place, maybe we can point you in the right direction and you can learn some manly skills :p

Hmmm ok, they're both not in CT, but i'm sure there are similar places in CT... maybe phone Cupboard Value and ask them for a contact in CT.. they should have one.

Painting is easy... turn it into a fun day with your SO... make her work for the money you give her :p
