Well... I do have a potty mouth, but none of the builders did anything swear worthy. In responding, I wanted to try to not to be too vague but also not too blunt. For example, "My partner and myself just didn't get the right vibe from you" is not particularly helpful. Likewise, "we just didn't...

Thanks everyone. Suggestions taken on board. Email drafted.

That's the bit I am struggling with.
