I blogged before about the Strange Affair of the Stolen Tiles, and since then, I have had a couple of ... interesting conversations with the builders, and with the guy from the housing association.
Sad,Naked Porch |
The upshot of which was that they asked whether it would be alright for them to come back, to re-tile the proch, today.
I agreed, and asked them about replacing the ?strut? at the same time - the old one was broken (and I can't pin that on them - may have been them, may have been local vandals) - they had put up a temporary one when the took away the tiles, but it wasn't attached with a proper joint to the rest of the frame, and I thought it would be nicer if it were.
And it seemed to me, that it would be easier & cheaper to get them to do that at the same time as they were doing the re-tiling.

So that's alright.

The porch looks lovely, and I'm glad they fixed it up so nicely for you.
So in the end was it really a win for you because they replaced the broken bit?
Well, I'm paying for the repair, but it would have been more expensive had I been paying for the reeling, too, so yes, a win of sorts...
