Okay, phoned Luis again around 10:30 this morning as he hadn't turned up or contacted us. Another message on the answerphone - this time I suggested I could pop round to his home to sort things out - hoping that he'd rather keep me away from home & family, but all the same it was a genuine offer.

Later, phoned his plasterer, Colin, to see if he knew if there was anything wrong with Luis. Seemed to think Luis was alright, but having lots of trouble with new van. Colin said he'd speak to Luis to get him to contact me and half an hour later - Luis called.

Friendly and courteous as ever but spent 20 minutes telling me virtually nothing. Having said that, revealed that a lot of my initial deposit wasn't spent on materials - but was used to purchase the infamous van and even some pretty basic tradesmans tools like the workmate bench.

Confirmed he'd be on site at 11am tommorrow (Thurs) so we'll see what happens
