The end is in sight – only 6 snags remaining

Monday saw the promised flurry of activity on our house. We had the decorator, the tiler, the slab layer and the sealant man (doesn’t it sound like he should be wearing a cape?) all work their magic. 2 of the remaining snags concern the metal floor of our balcony which should be replaced tomorrow, 2 of the snags should have been resolved on Tuesday but nobody turned up (the decorator and slab layer said they would come and finish their jobs off but didn’t), and the final 2 require the skills of the elusive plumber. I’m going to nag the sales office tomorrow in an effort to have everything resolved by the weekend, when wild orgies of celebration will ensue.
