Carpenters are No-Shows for a Few Days

Contacted my mum while away to see if it has been raining in Sydney so I can report it under rain days.  Mum said it had only rained from 5pm but she hasn't seen the carpenters for a couple of days.  Actually, we passed by the  site at around 12.30pm on Monday enroute to our little trip and no one was on site, no work has been done that morning.  Maybe the carpenters had other jobs and because I had told them we were going away (oops!), they decided to do the other jobs first...or maybe they just had to take a day off for whatever reason :(
