Since arriving here we have had a few power issues. Particularly with electricity. This is an energy source that our cottage seems to not find easy to integrate and yet is the one that we really really need to function!
It all began with our gates - both electric and on sensors, both working fine when we were visiting the house yet deciding not to function at all for us from the day we moved in.
We were given one, that’s right, ONE key to the front door on the day we completed. And nothing else. When I ventured to ask the estate agent if he had any other keys from the seller to hand over, I received a blank look. I tried again reframing my question asking if there was anything left for us by the seller. You know, things like keys to outbuildings, windows, gates, alarms etc he replied ‘you wanted a renovation project’ and that was the end of that conversation.
