No attention to detail. The company are not in a hurry to resolve the issue, they have been busy this week. The lock on the front door that they fitted also needs a further adjustment. The door has become difficult to shut. I think this is the change in temperatures causing the mechanism to expand in some way. Or perhaps the mechanism is faulty...

Do you still have Apprenticeships over there or have they withered on the 'further-education' bough? We used to have such practical and 'mentor' - based on the job training all over the place here until the 'TAFE' (Technical and Further Education) mob took most of it over. Now you have to have a classroom based 'Certificate 3 for most basis tasks followed by various other 'certificates' for this and that level. You need a certificate to blow your nose in Oz. The tradesmen no longer have a youngster in tow, carrying 'the Man's toolbag and learning from the Master. Not many Masters either. I hope your 'ishoo' is resolved soon.
