A lot has happened in the last two months, all of it cosmetic. The treads on the stairs were reinsatlled and some had to be re-polished. The guy came to do it and re-sanded all of them and then re-polished. He had to come back a second time to do a couple that weren't done properly. Because he sanded them there was wood dust everywhere, which was annoying. It didn't take long to get rid of, but I haven't been able to clean the big windows near the staircase, so every night I can see the dust.
The painters came back again, but still have some spots to finish off. The plumber was meant to have come here ages ago to install two taps and finish off putting some silicone in the bathroooms.
The big kitchen window was replaced with the right one (frosted glass) a couple of weeks ago and this needs silicone to seal it as well. The frame around it is crooked. I haven't told the builder yet because he was meant to come to see me this week, but he hasn't yet.
All of the seals around the outside doors are coming off. They will need to be replaced.
The carpenter did come a couple of weeks ago to fix up all the door handles and stop the rattling of some doors. He replaced the latch in my walk-in-wardrobe, but he put in a second-hand one. Not happy. I've told the builder.
The gardener has mostly finished what he was meant to do. He thinks he is finished and gave me his final invoice early last week, but I haven't paid it because he hasn't finished. He still has to put plants along the front fence and along one of the side fences at the back. He is coming over after work today to 'talk about it'. I told him to look at the plan that he quoted from and the list of plants that he was to buy and he would find that he hadn't finished. More on that later.
