PS you won’t be “letting anyone down” flowers

Explain to your son, ask him if he’s available in the next two weeks, and if he’ll do exactly what you ask?

If he cannot commit then go ahead with your original plan

A few weeks ago my neighbours took down some conifers that had been affording me some privacy, so I decided to put up a fence.

I have now got a few quotes back but have managed to offend my son, who said he could have done it for me.

The thing is I don't trust him to do it right, and also he's very busy so may take ages getting round to it.

I have told the fencing people I will get back to them next week, but I'm not sure whether to save money and wait for my son to do it.

Either way I'll let people down, how to make the right decision?
