.
Although I was in the
UK for two months and did achieve mostly what I set out to there
remains a growing list of jobs that my rental business needs done
I catalog them below .
. E mail me for contact details for tenants and other people who may be available to help , or talk to my friend in the UK
Carol . These jobs can be done together as part of a few days work
1 Repair rendering
from within sub station compound . I believe this will require
a ladder ( not metal
)
sand and cement
mortar with PVA admixture
Gripfix
Black waterproof
bituminous coating
I have these in my
brothers shed except for the ladder though they are readily
available and inexpensive anyway . The job needs to be arranged with
the electricity board and your local contact is 07767 850 833 . The
depo is on 01983 817 119 I estimate the job should take less than 4
hrs though due to difficulty of access and with weather I think it
best to have two people do it .
2 Beccky and Phills
flat ( downstairs ) A piece of water resistant ¾ chip is on site to
be cut to fit the top of the window reveal and made good – Some
architrave might also be needed .
Various ceilings to be
painted white ( two coats ) Various walls need to be painted magnolia
– possibly after a bleach cleaning of surface mold ( Phills room )
Some walls to be papered – Consult Carol for paper and details .
IMPORTANT – missing smoke detectors must be replaced ready for
inspection .these are to be found in my brothers hallway on the unit
tp the right ( viewed from the front doorway ) Damp stop may be also
needed though some was used previously – ( Can left in flat and or
possibly in Owens garage ) Also check dehumidifier in loft is still
operational . Should be able to hear it if running but if not its in
corner fixed to exterior wall and moving the humidistat should make
it run ( remember to reset the humidistat to the highest level (
where I set it ) so that it only runs where necessary) . If it has
been disconnected I will be pretty annoyed !
3 Fit laminate floor
upstairs – Tenant supplied . Need a cross cut saw and a jigsaw .
Both in brothers garage ( take the small one also as the big ones
motor failing ) Contact Teresa thru me or Carol .
4 Determine possible
leak in flat roof . Apparently there is still a problem with water
ingress downstairs close to door from hallway into rear area I think
the area adjacent to the french doors ( to the left viewed from
outside ) needs to be cleared of stuff and dirt . Then test it by
pouring a bucket of water over it . If its leaking there should be
water running down the wall downstairs within 30 min or so . There is
loads of gray sealing paint in Owens garage which can be liberally
applied when dry and clean . Any obvious holes can be filled with a
specialist sealant ( many available . ) Concrete waterproofer may
also be used generally where problems exist .
5 Upstairs shower
curtain – Work out how to fit shower curtain either by using a long
straight piece of 4 x 2 or a steel pipe ( if a chromed piece of one
inch round can be purchased long enough to span whole bathroom ) , or a
propriety kit possibly supported from the ceiling or by a transverse
rod at the bend . Best look on first visit and decide once situation
assessed
Ventnor summary
, Repair wall and bitumise . Decorate Flat . Check smoke detectors
and dehumidifier . If anyone can give me a price for she work
detailed here I would be gratefull and would commission them if it
was a good price .
