Here in Scotland, tenants can claim something called "squatters rights" and if the landlord doesn't evict them properly they could loose their house to the squatters all together!
Fortunatly the person moved out (about a month too late but they moved out) and now we can start fixing up the place and moving in.
We've primed all of the walls and put the first coat of paint on a few walls so far.
As you can see in this picture of the living room there's the first coat of paint on the feature wall and primer on the wall beside it.
Paul and his brother Stuart tried to fix the toilet in the bathroom today with no luck at all. It just moves around the same water over and over again. As you can probably imagine, the smell isn't all that great from it. Not to worry though, it will get fixed.
A kitchen! And by Scotland standards this is actually a pretty big one. As you can see, the washing machine is situated in this kitchen without a dryer so I'll have to hang my washing out on the line (this is the way it's commonly done over here).
The landlord has ordered us a new oven and hob, and we're getting new carpets put in the place. Yay, So Excited!
Okay Mandy, what is a 'hob'? The apartment looks great, what colours did you pick out for the paint?
ReplyDeleteThe toilet, Dad says you may have to take the toilet off and start over or use a toilet snake. There may be a plug of something jamming up the pipes. Try the snake first. Good luck.
So exciting Amanda!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pictures of the place with furnature and everything!
(what a way to get a house...squatting. hmm....)
Congrats on getting a place!

A hob is the top part of the stove with the elements on it but this one doesn't look like it's attatched.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to take the pictures of the furniture in the place... hehehe!
