The property next door is being "renovated". I have just complained to the County Council about the loud playing of Radio F'ing Onederful by the contractors employed by the Landlord ......................................... My local County Councillor.  eveilgrin:

The nice noise lady at the council said "Is this the same bunch we warned last week?"
"No" I replied "That was a bunch of cowboys working on a house next door but one on the other side of us ~ this is a different set of cowboys altogether"
"Leave it with me" she sighed "I have a van in that area already, I'll get him on his mobile and send him round"

They (builders) are congentitally incapable of normal speech ~ I blame the loud music.

Meanwhile the County Council man has been next door and the music has been turned off.
They (the builders) are working on the upper floor, outside wall. They have erected scaffolding and the f'ing music was coming from their van radio, turned to what must have been full volume, with all van doors left open. Obviously the van is not parked on the scaffolding with them but rather in the street beneath them. censored:

If they MUST have music whilst they work why not use IPods or MP3s?








One of them has just glared at me through the window so I stuck my tongue out at him. Childish I know but it pleased me at the time.

Why did they not seal the fireplaces before they started? ~ It's basic FFS!

A lot of numpties do that ~ we had the same problem when we lifted old carpets to achieve the "modern" floorboards on display look.

Some of the edges had been stuck with what looked like Evostick and some parts of the carpets were stuck with what we think (hoped) was spilled drinks.

Meanwhile the Buildings Regs Man has ruled that I am right and the contractors are wrong ~ expect new tank to be installed next week!
It pays to do your research I find  whistle:
