very angry!!!
shortly before christmas we had a land lords inspection where the letting agents came round and checked on the house. we highlighted a few issues with the house, mainly due to the lack of ventilation in the kitchen and bathroom leading to excessive moisture and condensation in these rooms, we also pointed out that the lack of any heating in any way shape or form in the kitchen isnt exactly helping matters.
now to be fair to the letting agents they did get onto it, they got a builder to ring me a week before christmas to said he was coming round to put some air vents into the 2 rooms. i asked if they were to be fan assisted air vents and they believed that was the case. so i let the builder come into the house while i was at work and do the work...
so i got home to find that the builder had actually simply knocked a brick out the solid brick wall and stuck two of those plastic air brick covers over the holes........ so now all we have is a nice balancing vent to ensure that the temperature within the room is much much colder (leading to even more condensation as the air is so cold in that room) currently the thermometer reads 2degC..................... too cold to actually go in their and cook or do anything...!
so immediately we contacted the agents, told them what had been done and they said they would call the builder and get him to come back and install proper electric vents that might actually do the required job.........
that was three weeks ago, the coldest 3 weeks of the year so far id like to add.
well when we got back from being away on boxing day we found that our freezer had defrosted, and everything in it was ruined. i presumed this was just a powercut.
today the same thing has happened, so i logged into the ADSL router to see if it had had to reconnect at any point due to powercuts, it hasnt. soooooooooooo
i can only presume the two are linked, so a bit of research informs me that some fridge freezers cant cope with cold temperatures and if the outside temp gets below 4degC then.... so basically the incompetence on behalf of the builder (and to some degree the letting agents) has basically led to 2 freezer loads of food going in the bin.... not happy!
i shall be ringing the agents tomorrow as soon as they open and demand they get the incompetent **** of a builder back in to fix his **** ups and also politely request they install a radiator as well to help matters. but im tempted to think that im doing this :bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:
