Hi all .
I own my late parents bungalow and having done it up some years ago have rented out with an agent , gave a decent addition to my self employed pension.
Unfortunately the tenant was raided following an arrest in Peterborough by the police. In turn the Northamptonshire Police damaged the rear door and removed a cannabis farm ! Yes sounds unbelievable.
Now of course we have to along with the agents , a national firm by the way , have to arrange to repair the damage. Luckily I have some good friends I worked with like an electrician who dropped what he was doing and went to day to check the wiring. They had by -passed the meter ! So with out a test of the circuits the electricity supplier won't reconnect .Hopefully by Monday OVO will give a date to reconnect.
Done some damage in the loft by cutting out the A frames and replacing with badly fitted timbers . Luckily again the brother of my son in law is a joiner and is going up on Wednesday to check and make good asap. I just don't want to go up and see the mess so our neighbour who is a decorator has been extremely good, organised a cleaner over this weekend and acts as a general overseer before he and his businesses partner give the property a full repaint, including new ceilings . There were vine screw in the ceiling to hold wires to dry the crop !
After all this you will understand why I've not been posting. Both Mike and Dude 1 are aware of this .
Don't feel like doing much at the moment, this last week has been a nightmare of phone calls , emails . Tomorrow I'm hoping to do some work on those figures.
