20 snags still left after 5 weeks – why?
I’ve been fairly complimentary about Bloor Homes and their contractors so far, but perhaps today is the day that I turn. This snagging business is just getting a little annoying now – it has been over 5 weeks since my 255-item snag list was submitted, so why are there still 20 remaining? I could understand if they were all major items requiring a great deal of coordination (one or two are, such as laying tarmac on our rear path), but the vast majority are simple things (scraping away endless lumps of grout on tiling, cleaning marks on the carpet). So what’s the problem? And while I am ranting, why can’t workmen clear up after themselves? And why can’t they, when they leave marks all over your walls, at least mention it and arrange for the decorator to return? There is a real lack of co-ordination that just destroys your will to live after a while. Well, after 5 weeks to be precise.
In horticultural news, two landscape gardeners eventually turned up last week to quote for our decking, and both promised we would have their quotes by the weekend. Needless to say we are still waiting.
