We should have known that today would be a disappointment. Only two out of four deliveries arrived. One delivery of bedroom furniture arrived OK and intact. The second delivery, was our very expensive (to us anyway) lounge hard furnishings (matching side boards, coffee table, TV table and shelving units). It was so dirty and of poor quality that we have sent it back and we refused to pay for it. We will be going back down to the ‘posh store‘, that sold us the units, on Monday to create havoc and to demand our deposit back. For our Spanish friends and readers the firm in question is Calamobel at El Real, Antas. We will then go somewhere else and buy another set of furniture.
If the third delivery does not turn up later today, we are sleeping back in the caravan once more tonight. PS: It didn’t so we are.
Dario sent one young lad up today to do some finishing off but off course we have not seen sight or sound of bloody Carlos. Therefore the electrics, plumbing and the heating systems are all still not working properly. As an experiment we did leave all the outside and some of the inside lights on last night on solar/battery generated power to see if they would last the night. We were amazed that not only did they last the whole night but I was also able to turn on the fridge/freezer and the cooker hood this morning and it all worked OK, without the genny on. I thought that perhaps the lights would be dimming by this morning but all was well.
