We live in a row of terrace houses where we have a little garden (more like a tiny yard) and a garage. Each of the houses are the same so to the left of everyone’s yard is next doors garage.
My landlord paved my yard a few months ago with marble effect flags and I keep a few little pot plants and a fox that lights up in my yard.
I came home a couple of days ago and next door had had their roof of their shed painted. It had been windy and so specks of the paint had blown all over the new flags in my yard. It wasn’t just a bit either it looked as though it had been raining paint. They had also let themselves into my yard (without telling me) and moved all my plants and my fox.
I went to next door and they gave me their landlords number as he had arranged the work (they were unaware of it completely). The landlord has been very helpful and is with holding money from the builders until they clean the paint off.
Today the builders came again, they used my tap (which I’m not sure why really annoyed me!) and pressure washed the flags.
The problem is that whilst it’s lifted the paint the paint has stained the flags and whilst it’s still wet I don’t think they are going to look the same.
Has anyone else been in a position like this? WIBU to want the flags looking how they did before all this? What if it’s not possible? Should I hand over to my landlord and get him involved (he’s lovely and would of course but don’t want him going out of his way if it’s something I could deal with).
Thank you mumsnetters!
