We had no doubt that it would get under way once more of the complex had taken possession. Measured for replacement glass. Came to noisy air con. All he seemed to do was unscrew it, put back together. Was quiet for 2 hours. Back to square one again now.

Ah well. At least they came!

Always look on the bright side of life!

When you say noisy air conditioning - is that from the units inside or from the contraption on the outside wall?

Our outside unit was making horrendous noises on Friday, even though the air con wasn't switched on.

Thanks Lee

At least I now know that it is definitely something that needs to be included in the snagging!

It reminded me of a motorbike revving up & disappearing into the distance - not very conducive to sleeping in the second bedroom.

Hi Noreen

It may be interesting to find out the snags we all have in common.

We are waiting for glass to be replaced in one of the patio windows. And we had plaster coming off the walls from a leak up above us. The socket high up in the bathroom was not connected to the mains. The security lock which you can turn on the main door does not work as the metal keeper is bent.

The grouting in the patio has much of it coming out.

One thing that has alarmed me about the design of the apartments is the lack of drainage. The small drains are not enough to let the water get away fast enough. We have had on several occassions had to remove the central plastic plug to help the rain get away faster.

In fact if we had not been in Spain at the time several apartments which we look after would have been flooded.

They dont seem to have thought about rain much. Hence the yellow streaks down the walls where water has just run off one patio to the next beneath.

Think this is something to be brought up at the meeting otherwise the the painting job is going to be much like the Forth Bridge.

We will be permanently living with painters!

Each walkway or patio should have its water directed down the stairs at least not down the walls of the apartments.

Our snags were all fairly minor but I am sure we will find more when we actually stay in the apartment.

There were 3 that concerned problems with doors/windows not closing properly. Aa small crack in the plaster by the second bedroom. The grouting on some of the bathroom tiles was very poor & the water covers by the bath were loose.

As I say I am sure we will find more.

Noreen
