Day one nearly didn’t happen! Mr C was working from home and by mid morning there were no signs of activity, not even a phone call.
Mr C phoned me up to vent his frustration. He had sent an email to the fittings department because he had no phone number for them. I was quite insistent that he phone the showroom number and talk to someone in person. He took my advice and was advised that the previous job was behind schedule and that the work would commence tomorrow. This would have been OK if we had been notified there was a problem, these things happen and we could have scheduled our days at home accordingly.
Mr C told them this was not acceptable and the reasons why. After the conversation two men turned up to remove the old fittings from the smallest room in the house and the hallway, un-paving the way for the craftsman to start working his magic the day after.
PS: In the hallway photos you will notice the new front door as mentioned in my previous post. The old door although relatively new had become defective, it had warped allowing wind and cold air to blow in through the gaps.
I scrolled down to see the “before” pics, Cherry. WOW. You and Mr. C are really going to town on your house, inside and out! Congratulations.
We are trying to get our house organised, then we can relax a bit and enjoy it and the garden
A fascinating exploration of the smallest room and some other parts as well.
The other bits being the hall and stairs
i had to go back, and read a few posts to “get” this but now i do. we have redone a lot of our small rooms too – after our children left. i look forward to the after!!!
We have a few other rooms yet to do. But we are now making progress
Good luck!
Thank you
You have to be very assertive when this happens, Cherie
Yes you do!!
