I now feel completely justified in sticking to my guns with the builder. "Don't worry," they said. "We'll clear the sand away by 3:30," they said. "Only you won't be there to give us the money afterwards, so could you give it to us now?"
Not being born yesterday (though possibly last week), I laughed at them. They'd had the better part of a fortnight to do "just a few minutes work" and it still wasn't done, so why should I believe them now?
Sure enough, when I swoop briefly past home to grab what I needed for the evening, the driveway is still covered in sand.
