In the new house :)
Where to start?
Moved into a new house a year ago and it had a few "things to fix!" as the estate agent put it.
The bathroom had no bath, only a shower cubicle, bog and sink. The bedroom next door had an on-suite shower room. I had back to back showers and no bath at all!
All the glosswork in the house had been tarted up with white emulsion paint as they couldn't be arsed with painting properly.
They had carpet in the garage. Big 1970's brown ugly shag pile with bits of crud stuck in it.
There were no less than 6 TV amplifiers bodged in around the house and more co-ax than you can imagine.
The original interior doors had been changed but instead of buying the really cheap but nice looking doors and handles that normal people would find tasteful, they went for the ugliest combination of curved fronted moulded doors with Georgian sticky out, bruise you to fu*k brass handles. The annoying thing is the good studff is the same price. To top this all off they painted them with emulsion paint GEERRRR!
Dull I know but I needed to get this off my chest. Some people should have their tool kits hidden!
