Sold our summerhouse on gum tree. Dude came to look at it this morning about 9am, paid and was back by 11 to dismantle it. DH all togged up to assist but the guy politely and firmly refused as he wanted to take it apart himself so he could put it back together himself.
He pulled his van into our side return and installed a tiny elderly Korean lady (he is also Korean) on a deck chair on our patio.
He then spent an hour writing on every plank and taking 1500 photographs.
He then spent two hours peeling off the roof felt painstakingly. Korean lady has been to toilet twice. As far as I can see she is here for the day out.
However she has just been to the car and produced steaming hot noodles, broth and vegetables and they have had a lovely leisurely lunch on the patio.
He has just now resumed work and has actually started to remove the planks. Slowly. Methodically. I know because he has told me that there are 85 planks. Plus window. To removed and carry to car. DHs help has again been refused although he has taken matters into his own hands a bit and is carrying planks to car.
Elderly lady back on deck chair.
Help!! We want to go out and thought that this would take 2-3 hours max. It's been 4 and only the roof felt is off. We could lock the back door and leave them in the garden but what about elderly lady's toilet needs???? And water etc? They have a little tea break (from a flask) every now and then and have refused drinks but they must need water at some point.

Lock the back door and go out, they're grown ups, they'll be fine! 
It's not your problem. I would tell them they need to be out by a certain time. Imo they're pretty rude about it, who does that
hahahahahaha sorry this is just too funny...get the bbq out and make a day of it. you never know when your next best friend is round the corner 
Say goodbye and go out, chances are they'll still be there when you get back
I've just walked past him with a cuppa and he's said "I am thirsty too!!" So now I've made him a tea.
Crikey they saw you coming a mile off didn't they
