I looked out my kitchen window at the unoccupied scaffolding still blocking access for the top units with no workers in sight, and got a bit cross. So I emailed our landlords and pointed out that since the beginning of summer we have had one month - January - free of workers doing loud and obtrusive maintenance work that has impacted the 'quiet enjoyment' we are entitled to as tenants, and that perhaps the time had come for a rent reduction to be considered as compensation for the ongoing nuisances.
Today the scaffolding is being moved and the place is a hive of activity, albeit a wet one...
You stirrer hunni!
Ohh dear! Heaven forfend that they should have to part with *gulp* actual cash compensation....
Its always so amazing, the speed at which some things can be accomplished once compensation is mentioned.
Our local Body shop has closed so when I need anything from there it now means schlepping over to another mall which doesn't please me as there's a bit of a walk involved to bus stops & that mall is a long one, & often used by people for fitness walks so consequently I tend to get in & out as fast as possible but I think I broke my record this morning thanks to buses actually turning up at a good moment both ways. Its always so good when that happens.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
