Wanted a Handy Man who speaks english

@kath9483

Best bet is probably to check if there's a local FB group, or forum. Usually a search on something like Brits in Pomorie, would bring something up, or Life in Pomorie, Expats in Pomorie. You should be able to find something and any recommendations would be local to you. Good luck.

Thank you grumpy but at the moment my internet is down but I'll do that as soon as it's up and going again.

@kath9483

Oh I know the feeling. My satellite internet isn't coping well with all the rain here, so I'm reliant on my mobile data at the moment. 🙄

Same here Grumpy

Hiya my son has a gardening round and he does maintenance round Pomorie he lives in Burgas and he is English and speaks perfect Bulgarian.

@kath9483

Replied to your post

Thanks for your reply Ceejay1 do you know if he'd be interested in doing these works for me?

Yeah he is if you send me your phone no he will ring you

I've sent it to you well at least I think I have but I'm much too old to understand tech.

Mind you the first tree numbers maybe the code for the UK.  I'm a lot better with messages.

Well my Bulgarian phone isn't working so I'm taking it on the village bus back to the shop in Pomorie this afternoon so please be aware Ceejay1 I've hopefully sent you my English phone number.

Well I've had two replies to my post but the one who first replied and lives in Burgas has work ongoing I think and hasn't been in touch to even tell me if it's going to be worth his while to come to the village and look at what's required and give me a price for the works and in the meantime I told the other person who replied that I was waiting for the first person to visit. Admittedly some of the works are relatively quick and cheap to do but other jobs include getting my basement kitchen floor either linoleumed and shirting boards or ditto with tiles. The works required are beyond my scope as an old biddie but I do want them done so I can have a cosy winter. Maybe I should pay a visit to the village Mayor to see if he knows anyone.

Sorry , correction the first person to reply has been in touch but not for a while.

@Kath948381

What is linolemed ,?  Is that lino ?

So is your basement suffering damp or water leakage ?

Yes sorry lino, no damp or water leakage thankfully but I had the floor done by an English " master builder " and I don't think it's level also once the floor is done I'll be able to buy some free standing units  get rid of the old Bulgarian I think school desks and make it a clean welcoming area of the house, oh and the typical sink needs to be tiled.

I've also had the doors and windows replaced and the areas around the new ones need to be sorted, a couple of floor boards need replacing upstairs , curtain rails fitted, gutters outside cleaned out maybe and a few other jobs. Some of these jobs could be done by my husband but he's an only child in the UK looking after his elderly mother so I'm here alone.

Ok I was wondering if you had a bigger problem that needed corking (water sealing)  I know that may older Bulgarian houses have a half in ground basement that usually houses there front room with small windows just above ground level to give light..  there supposed to be very effective against winter cold .. good luck with your search for a handyman  hope you find one soon.. I don't know if Bulgaria have a site like we have in uk  for tradesmen.. I'll ask my Bulgarian friend .. I think it's called check a trade here

I'm in UK still by the way . Visa appointment on Monday

Best of luck then
