hows ur stairs accymel? ours are cracked and thayve had to make a frame to hold it up how long it will last i dont kno
 
look at room and seel worke men in untill they have got pannels down then they can exit .if you left window open you risk spreding all over you dont want any drafts at all.if they dont brake pannels no risk .dont forget any pannels they are removing damp down first this will decrease any dust .i worked for a recycling company for two years this is good practice.main thing to remember is that tiny contact is not harmfull working all the time with it is. that is why any one who knows what they are doing will take all precortions possible when pannels sre removed they should vacume up the area with a vacume that does not let any air loss hope this helps but dont worry u will be fine.

A bit nervous of them, they have put 2 support timber to support the mini landing altho from the stairs u can see thro to kitchen thro the slit between plaster board & skirting boards, so was it u i heard then with the wobbly stair landing about last friday?? LOL Hopefuly im sure the inspector is coming tommoz to check them, had to warn the kids for not playing or jumping up & down the stairs just so not to tempt fate.

Just tested the bath out as well as its only 2 walls now, no movement so thats fine:D

Mind u walls sockets on the fridge side dont work altho worked fine till they plugged transformer in tho not their fault it didnt blow fuses or owt, but think its a problem that started when they took the econ 7 out, which has now knocked the circuit off when these guys tried to start, so got the electrican coming 1st thing.
 
Waves of sympathy heading your way from me, Mel
I was whacked just getting the new heating in - what you have had today is a nightmare by comparison - rest up and let the mess lie for a day or two.
 
Thanks Margaret, seems one thing to another, wonder what problem there is with the electrics in kitchen whether they are going to make more mess tommoz, then in 3 weeks or so time we got the big job of kitchen to be fitted & old taken out then the bathroom & then after that the re wire:eek:. Be easier to knock down & rebuild the house as Jack made a hash of it to start with :rofl38:
 
That is all too much mess in a short time - you could reasonably ask for several weeks breathing space between jobs
 
Would prefer to get it over with, as todays jobs look unsightly, least then i can have a reasonably nice home once they've finished then hopefully relax & enjoy eventually LOL:D
 
It is more than I could cope within that short time scale. If you reach the end of your tether at any time- just ask for next job to wait while you rest up
 
Yeh sure will, altho i wonder if they will pay for a health farm for a couple of days pampering while they do the house up :rolleyes: probably not but nowt wrong with wishful thinking or dreams hehehehehehe
 
Well today hasnt spoilt that wonderful sense of humour :D - good for you - if anyone can cope with it you can!!

well for us thay came the day befor you and the stairs arnt safe as the wooden beam things thay tried to make is craced and so is the top corner of the stairs so its only a matter of time befor we go ouch and the bathroom well its a bit like urs bare lol
 
Has the inspector overseeing this had a look at it Carl?? When have they booked u having your kitchen & bathroon done?? Ive got another 3 weeks approx or so to wait for mine & put up with it like it is:)

Still waiting for the sparkie, just rang HH to find out if he's lost and as per typical - their systems are down & crashed again:rolleyes:
 
:rofl38: HH has just got abck to me with systems sorted, the electrician is booked for the afternoon not the morning as was told [you have to laugh & least they admitted their error lol] luckily in anyways but least he ain't missing hehehehehe:D
 
My heating installation which started on 26th March is not over yet.
Had plumbers, electricians and demolition in 1st 7 days then a plasterer on Wed lastweek but no joiner yet.
I phoned HH on Tuesday to report a heap of plasterboard offcuts and removed air vents at the front door (plasterers rubble etc) and was told to expect removal same day and a joiner this week - neither has happened!
If they were better organised it would all be easier to cope with.
 
Yeh know what u mean they dont collect their rubbish from outside so quick, the asbestos team are next atm, so waiting for the rubbish collector & then collar him to take what he missed yesterday - a boarding from kitchen that was left outside yesterday, might just leave it on path in hope he collects that & the neighbours:rolleyes:

Thats almost what they did when I lived in Burnley. There was a Council owned estate not far from where I lived. It was rather infamous at the time :D. They emptied the whole house and gutted it. It looked like all they kept was the walls and completely redid the insides again. It would probably be cheaper and be a better job in the long term.
 
My garage roof if made from asbestos. I have had a builder in recently and asked him whether I should think about a new roof (it is a bit leaky) and he said not to waste my money. He says it is in good condition so it is not dangerous. The leaks he is gonna fix with some special stuff. I have never used my garage cos of the asbestos, but he said it is fine so I might start using it. Although I would feel better without an asbestos roof.
