Windows at last!

Our external windows and doors have finally been installed and the house is looking a lot better, it is also now secure and watertight enabling us to get on with some work inside.

It seems our builder has now disappeared taking our cash with him! We are still speaking with a solicitor and are currently waiting for a report to highlight the condition the builder has left the house in. We may not take the builder to court as there is a chance we won't receive any money back from him but we will definitely be reporting him to the police. We have discovered that he owes money to a number of local tradespeople and to the local builders merchant so we are not the only ones to lose out to him.

We are now obtaining our own quotes for the electrics, plumbing and other items of outstanding work and hope we can now start to move things forward.
