Renovation (also called remodeling) is the process of improving a broken, damaged, or outdated structure. Renovations are typically either commercial or residential. Additionally, renovation can refer to making something new, or bringing something back to life and can apply in social contexts. For example, a community can be renovated if it is strengthened and revived.

    Have you heard excuses not to pay there and then !

    I guess there's no real way to ensure that someone has the means to pay before you start travelling to them, but have any of you guys had the "Oh damn, I forgot to draw some money out of the cashpoint, can you call back in a few days" or words to the same extent? If so, how did you handle it?
