Hole in Roof

Hey tlady

 

We're still no further forward. Were meant to go and view the house again on Friday but got called and its changed to Monday.

 

But, friends are gettting a council house across the road and their house is in a bad way to (minus cats pee) and they are like us saying they dont see why they should have to pay to clean up someone else's mess. They are due to meet with the person that should be showing us our house tomorrow. So if he's meeting them there wont be time for us to see our place so guess we wont be seeing it till Tuesday now

 

Our friends are also going to the local councillor so he'll be a busy man this week

 

Thanks for that link. I'll definately be on the phone to her first thing

 

Don't really know what else to do. Really getting mad about it all. Thats 3 months nearly we've been all packed up waiting to move. We need to move as our wee one is to big for the moses basket but we have no room for a cot in the bedsit and the council are in no rush to do anything or if they do go up to the house they manage to spend a whole day in it and do nothing

 

Wheres that news reporter that checks out these forums because its shocking the way the council are. The time wasted on phone calls, viewings, folk going to the house and doing nothing is a joke

Good luck and fingers crossed .. let us know how you get on x x

Hi tlady

 

Just to update you. The pee floors have been lifted and replaced and the hole in the livingroom celling has been fixed. It smells a lot better. Its still a tip but need to take it now so its ready by Christmas.

 

I'll try and attach a few pics to show you whats is like now. NOt sure if this will work but I'll try

Our friends across the road have got nowhere and they're having to do it all themselves[/img]

I'm not the best painter by any means, but that looks like its been done by the bairns!!

 

At least they've pulled their finger out albeit just a little

 

Are they doing any more or is it up to you now?

i know, how could anyone live like that

 

thats just all their doing so off to tescos to bulk buy bleach, rubber gloves etc. a lot of the neighbours have offered to come in and help us blitz the place and our friends who have got the house across the road has invested in one of those paint machines so we'll see if we can borrow that

 

forgot to take a pic of the bathroom. you should see the toilet and the bath!!! think i'll be washing at friends and families houses for a while and squirt a bottle of bleach round it and leave it!!!!!

 

we're not going to be able to live in it for a few weeks yet so keeping the place we're in on for now and I'll probably go up and stay with family and gets started on the work whilst my boyfriends working

Take photos of everything!! then ask the council if you can claim for anything? because believe me, they will be claiming off the previous tenants for the graffiti. So if you're reinstating it, you should be able to claim a % of the money.
