CFN patio doors, sangria, ken from the shop update

Hello all, most of you probably won’t know what I’m on about but for those of you that do, I feel that I owe you an explanation. A friend alerted me to a few threads where I’d been called a troll etc.

I’ve been through a very long process with NDN about the doors (which I had been told were going to be replaced/ wall reinstated etc)

I had also been told by my lawyer that all was fine.

The planning dept have been on my side, as per all previous threads.

This all seemed to be going ahead until I returned home to find half of my flat wall caved in.

I had to move out to stay with a friend. The whole thing has been a total nightmare and it is still not resolved. My wall has been partially fixed, the patio doors remain and no one has seen hide nor hair of NDN or the builders for months.

My flat is now uninhabitable for the foreseeable and there are legal implications, planning laws and listed building laws which all have to be agreed and adhered to before anything will be done, apparently.

This may be terribly outing but I am beyond caring. I was told not to post on here, however, the advice I received was second to none and so I thank you all for that.

My grandma has been unwell so I have been back and forth to Spain, seems like all is against me!

Sorry I disappeared for so long, but you can imagine how awful it has been, I’m in a better place now, so thought it was time to come back and let you know that I’m not some fantasist making up stories about doors 😂

Hope to see some familiar names on the thread!

Bloody hell. Is there no respite for you? Is the collapsed wall due to CFN?

MissFitton · 27/10/2017 22:29

Awww Watty you poor sausage. I was on most of the ten threads and contributed to the Trello board. Wondered how you'd got on - t'was the Summer of '17 the CFPatio threads. Sorry to hear it's not going well.

Pearlsaringer · 27/10/2017 22:29

Another lurker here popping up to say I've been with you from the start, followed your wonderful threads and hoped things were at last moving along to a happy conclusion. So sorry to hear things have gone south. Thank you for coming back and telling us what's going on, big hugs to you and lovely SpanGran.

thenightsky · 27/10/2017 22:29

I watched a bit of this today and thought of you.

GhostlyKiwi · 27/10/2017 22:33

Bloody hell, Watty. I hope it gets sorted with the minimum fuss for you. What a horrible thing. Flowers

RainyDayBear · 27/10/2017 22:36

Oh no! I hope it gets sorted soon, that’s so rubbish.

Protectingmydaughterfromfilth · 27/10/2017 22:36

Oh wow. This was the most memorable of all the threads I’ve ever read. I’m gobsmacked you’ve been essentially forced out? Hope yours or somebody’s home insurance is paying for you to live elsewhere whilst it gets sorted? X

bettytaghetti · 27/10/2017 22:36

So sorry to hear this Watty Flowers. I hope that you get properly compensated for all this grief so that you can get a well deserved holiday with Spangran when she’s feeling better. Thanks for updating.

Gibble1 · 27/10/2017 22:37

Omg. I was completely agog at this original saga. Sorry Spangran is unwell. Horrified at your wall collapse.

RhodaBorrocks · 27/10/2017 22:37

Oh watty I was only wondering about your saga last night. I'm so sorry to hear things are so rubbish for you right now. Flowers

RhodaBorrocks · 27/10/2017 22:38

And Flowers for your abuela too x

HashiAsLarry · 27/10/2017 22:38

Wow watt
How awful for you. I hope they get anything and everything that can be thrown at them.
Hope spangran gets better soon too.

PurplePillowCase · 27/10/2017 22:41

even with solicitors and insurance involved this is still a major pain in the arse situation.

londonrach · 27/10/2017 22:44

Not the update i wanted to see. How on earth did they managed to bring your wall down. Love to spangran xx

Usernamegone · 27/10/2017 22:44

watt I'm so sorry to hear that half your flat wall caved in!

HelenUrth · 27/10/2017 22:44

Wow, sorry to hear this, read the previous threads but didn't post - wondered how you were getting on and hoped you were all sorted by now. All good wishes to you and SpanGran.

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/10/2017 22:44

So sorry to hear this Watty, but it will all come right in the end.

Flowers for you and SpanGran Pracatan.

Oh dear that's not good all round :( Hope things improve soon and you can go home to your private garden.
PS is Ken ok or did I miss his update?

GlitteryFluff · 27/10/2017 22:53

I read your other threads.
Im sorry it's not resolved yet and sounds like it's all got much worse with the wall falling down too.
Also sorry that span gran has been unwell.
Flowers for you.

DingDongDenny · 27/10/2017 22:53

Doramaybe that's some compassion fatigue you have - maybe see you GP about that

Watt so sorry to hear it's even worse for you now. I can't quite get my head around the layout and how they have structurally affected one of your walls - how are your flats connected?

MsJolly · 27/10/2017 22:55

Great empathy @dora! It's not a race to the bottom.

Sorry to hear your news Watty

keepcalmandfuckon · 27/10/2017 22:56

Doramaybe you’ve made your point, a number of times now.

So sorry to hear this op. What have you been told the process will be now?
