Yes, it was council contractors who fitted my kitchen. Sadly, I can’t afford to get it all redone professionally.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 1d

The amount of times I’ve nearly knocked myself out on that cupboard when I’ve needed to get on to the worktop to reach something too high up is ridiculous.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 1d

Discovering that the workmen’s safety issues in my kitchen are the same two the property surveyor flags every year. Kitchen sink blocks a fire exit at the window (if it’s ever needed) and the wall mounted cupboard to the left of the cooker.

So much for having a bit of a lie in after doing two shifts yesterday.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 1d

Painters have turned up to paint around the windows.

After much searching, I have a new pizza slicer. Can’t wait to try it out the next time I buy a pizza.

Mezzuluna cutter on top of the box it came in.

Ugh. Bloody Isreal protesters outside of Barclays at top of Union street and bridge street.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 3d

I’m only wanting to get quotes just now, got a wee while before I can go ahead and get the work started, so mostly pricing up and getting a time frame too in case I need to book hotel while workmen are in.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve already asked elseweb: anyone have recs for painter/decorater in Aberdeen (Scotland) it’s for a whole flat (bedsit - big room, kitchen, bathroom and lobby) and also possibly a joiner to measure three internal doors, remove them and replace them with new doors.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 4d

Not ideal but it is only a short term solution until I get my new blinds fitted in a few weeks time.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 4d

The new windows are done, just need painted which is either tomorrow or Monday. I gave the joiner a note of the key safe code to give to the painters. If they come tomorrow morning that is.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 4d

No the best pic but this is the new windows, well, one of them.

One half of big room window fitted earlier and secured in place. Red plastic on the floor and my bed frame propped up awkwardly to the right.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 5d

Plastic is down on all floors and joiners have appeared. The blind in the big room is badly needing replaced.

Blue roller blind taken down from big room window. Freyed at both ends and a stuck pull cored.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for the fixtures list because there is no way I am missing out on the biggest derby in league.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 5d

I won’t say it seems dodgy for Bradford coming back to super league for next season but there is a certain odour around the announcement.

Bluesky, a little help?

Any experts in #peppercorn / #leasehold law please?

I'm trying to find the answer to a legal question, and am being given the kind of runaround you'd associate with a Wile E Coyote cartoon.

Reskeets appreciated, thank you! 🙏

Now to see if someone actually turns up with the new windows today at the fourth attempt.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 5d

Same electricians as Monday just turned up “we’ll disconnect the fan when the windows are done” 🤦‍♀️ actual fucking cowboys! Rather, Aberdeen Council subcontractors for you.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 5d

Lets see if the workmen actually turn up today to fit the new windows because I sure as all hell am not moving my bed again to give them more space to work when they’ve not turned up to three times since Friday.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 5d

Ugh. Commissions scammers, just had two identical comments on Squidge with “we will work on Discord.” When will these parasites fuck off?
Also, I rarely reply to archives comments and I’m not on discord so they’re shit out of luck anyway.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 8d

*can (flipping dyslexia!)

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 8d

Interesting. Electrician has been to disconnect the window fans in kitchen and bathroom, took one look at them and said “joiner than just unplug them” 🤔 pretty sure they need disconnected at the fuse box for the new window fans to be installed in those rooms.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 8d

Windows are getting done today. This is after Space Solutions told me they could only do them on Thursday or Friday of last week then didn’t turn up.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 9d

Finally seeing some promotion for The Ashes. RFL and rugby league commercial, you really need to sort out the half-arsed way you are current promoting the greatest game.

Cat @lillyc.bsky.social · 9d

Jon Wells, an error is not drama. FFS!
