More on the whole landlord thing.
Jun. 21st, 2009 07:52 pmAfter the inspection last Monday, I was not surprised to get a call on Friday from the repair guy that showed up in May.
He showed up that afternoon, re-stated that the griller door spring couldn't be replaced and mentioned that the landlord and/or owner did not want to pay for the new stove. I asked if a simple hook could be put on the oven and he reckoned that the metal on the side was too thin and any rivets put through would pull out in a short time.
He then inspected the windows, and I asked again if a simple handle could be put on them. Apparently no, or at least probably not by him - the frames are metal and he wouldn't be able to drill through them.
So he said he would check what he had back at his base, and he could come around on Monday. Unfortunately, Monday I'm on a course, so he said he'd try to come on Sunday, and he'd ring before he came. Otherwise it would be Thursday.
No sign or sound of him today. I'll ring him in a break tomorrow to see if he *is* coming on Thursday. And I'll have a chat to my lovely contact at the VCAD. This isn't good, though.
