RE: Locked and collared
You know they are coming, it will just take time for us to hire some Finnish tradespeople ;D
Should be fun!

I have stories of "professional" renovators too. Not the most horrible stories but not all pretty either. We can someday compare the stories. I hear plumbers are the worst. But I'm sure you do not need those...
I have some interesting stories from when the pipe work was done on this apartment. Carpenters, tilers and electricians....
😂 Know of several good ones?
Can't wait to hear. There's just something with reading / listening or telling stories that did not necessarily make you laugh when experienced but afterwards are just hilarious. After a bunch of therapy sessions and a holiday or something like that.
Sure if your criteria is a bit flexible on determining who is good and who is bad. For example if the plumber tells you they are coming Tuesday at twelve, but they don't and when you call them, if they answer, they just say that can't now, let's try again next Tuesday... and they call you angry the next DAY (that's Wednesday) that here they are now, behind your door and nobody's home. And you're somewhere far far away and promise to come as soon as you can and finally when you're there, the plumber is, of course, gone and they've left half of the stuff you agreed they buy, behind your door, out there in the middle of the city, all staircase doors open, for anyone to take the stuff. And you call them, juuuuuust a tiny bit angry but try to suppress that feeling the best way you can as you know they know that they are, at that moment, god, and you ask the godplumber passive aggressively how's it going and that you are there now and could they come today because you canceled all the stuff you needed to do that day and they just say: "Next Tuesday, didn't we agree on that."
It's always fun if the housing cooperative decide for you that this renovation guy is okay. So you have no say on who you are dealing with.
And that's before anything has actually happened yet in the bathroom. If you're okay with that, I know couple.
