How are things going?

Well, the bricklayers have walled up the conduits according to the buyer’s instructions and now I’m going to install the switches and switchplates.

I’d like to go to the house with the plans and check that all the alterations are in the right place.

That’s a good idea. I’ll come with you.

Let’s start in the master bedroom.

Have you put the telephone jack on the right-hand side of the bed area?

Yes, I have.

I can’t see any power points on the left-hand side of the bed area.

Which power points do you mean?

Look, these, here on the plans.

Oh, I missed those.

I’ll have to cut the wall to get to the electric cables.

When can you do that?

Well, I can’t do it today because I need a bricklayer to help me.

I’ll contact the site manager about a bricklayer and he’ll let you know when you can come.

Everything else seems to be OK.

Thanks, see you soon.

Hello, how’s it going?

Fine, we’re making good progress.

We need someone to help the electrician install a junction box for three switches. He’ll have to cut the the wall and then wall up the conduits.

Have you got a bricklayer available?

A job like that will only take an hour at the most.

We can decide the day and I’ll ask one of the men to give the electrician a hand.

What’s the best day for you?

Thursday afternoon would be OK.

Well, if you tell the bricklayer, I’ll contact the electrician and tell him to come Thursday afternoon.

What if he can’t come on Thursday?

In that case, I’ll let you know.

Hi, there. Everything OK?

Yes, I’ve just come to tell you that the electrician hasinstalled the missing junction box, so the electricasystem is finished.

That’s good news.

I’m sorry, but I have to rush off immediately. I’ve gotan appointment.

So now we can phone the buyers and tell them that althe work is finished and they can come for a generainspection.

While you do that, I’ll go and get some coffee, so wecan celebrate!

Did you manage to speak to them?

Yes, I had to hold the line for 5 minutes while they decided when they were both free!

They wanted to come on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.

But it’s better if they come in daylight.

Yes, that’s what I said, so they are coming Saturday morning at 9:30.

Great, here’s your coffee. It isn’t champagne, but cheers anyway!

Cheers!
