TeamRick-you have the heart of a lion!
Defo go to small claims with him-I took some builders there when I was still a teenager & though initially terrifying, I won as was so in the right & they were a bunch of tossers, (they were doing neighbourhood regeneration near my office & splattered cement over my old banger car). They accepted responsibility initially & then didn’t follow through fixing my car-were very dismissive of me as a young girl which enraged me greatly & cost them dearly in the end!!
Monkey-love those tiles.
My electrician is coming on Friday, whoop whoop! £750+vat seems a lot for one days work though (small town NI) 🙄
Pp asking about kickboard drawers-any good kitchen people should do them though mine didn’t offer but was happy to oblige when I asked! Great space saving for trays/Christmas stuff/stash of new bling film/tin foil etc.
One other tip on kitchens-we had picked a couple of Farrow & Ball shades for kitchen& island but there didn’t seem enough of a contrast so I messaged them on Facebook for advice, telling them the kitchen shade, showing the wooden floor we’ve picked & what direction windows face. They were so helpful & advised on alternative shades for the island which were so much better when tested so worth a go for free!
