Re: The Happy Thought Thread

I just had contact with the council that they want to do one final inspection before works go ahead. I already have double glazed windows but they deem them insufficient so new windows going in. Insulation in the walls. Roof works.

I have a wall extractor fan in my kitchen but it's in the window in my bathroom, that needs changing to the wall. And I hope they replace the window net curtain cord screws.

I'm well happy. The kitchen brings in a draft. Hopefully things improve.

My council last year fitted a window fan because I refused to let them drill through my tiles.

When I moved in in 1996 it had single glazing in a double glazing frame with spacers. About a year later they fitted sealed units. The whole lot was replaced again a few years ago

A few years ago I had squirrels living in my loft causing damage. The council fit scaffold down the side and fixed the whole where they were getting in. A few weeks later they come and removed the scaffold. Later the same afternoon a scaffold company turned up and put scaffold all round and they replaced my whole roof. First lot was a waste of money for them

I think there's a clause somewhere saying like for like or better no downgrades.

Hopefully you will get the same heating temperature results without having to have the thermostat set to a roasting 25c all the time.

Net curtain? People still have naff net curtains up?
