Oh bucket.

Back in September I had a gazebo built. Well - started. 

The chap that came to do it seemed to understand the brief. 

But..... He took ages to make it. Kept not turning up. Broke 2 paving slabs. Promised the rain water would run towards the back. Put the wrong wood on the sides so i made him change it, replaced my worktops in the studio saying it was marine ply (it wasn't), chased up payment the day (he thought) it was finished, failed to turn up when I told him the roof was leaking all over my lovely swing (so had to take it in).

I'm gutted.

I need buckets everywhere to catch the water.

Luckily my friend who laid the decking said he would come and fix the roof and add a slope. I'm so grateful but really, really just want it finished now so I can enjoy my swing!

I'm so disappointed with gazebo man. He's even advertising my gazebo on local sites as something he can do. If only people knew it's not fit for purpose.

I'm so sad about it.
