Day 242 - Dark Magic

perfect patio

Today the renowned cowboy contractors came around to restore order after their wonderful drainage installation work.

We were delighted to find dubious looking workmen wandering around the garden when we got up.   It was gratifying to know that our agents had maintained their long standing tradition of failing to notify us of the visit. 

What are tenants rights (codified in law) for, if not for being ignored when it supports your commercial interests?

We are lucky to have an agency that with impressive discipline, fully embraces the efficiencies to be found in skirting neatly around your clients rights at every opportunity. 

Those pesky laws, like the one that allows a tenant to live undisturbed in their home...they're really not considering the negative impact on local small businesses!

And those others that say you can't just turn up on your tenants doorstep unannounced...how, in this day and age, would it be remotely possible to communicate a simple message to another individual?  This isn't some medieval fantasy world where voices could be sent using some dark magic, or thoughts psychically conveyed from one consciousness to another in an instant!

That said, as you can see from the image above, they've done a marvellous job of putting our patio back just as it was...I can only conclude that this miraculous artistry is born of some form of dark magic...

...so perhaps this is some medieval fantasy world?!

They've even faithfully recreated that pile of mud that our barbecue was partially buried in (or was it just standing neatly on a clean, tidy, flat patio, I can't quite remember)...

If you squint carefully, you can just about make out the invisible repair they've done to the lawn...

And that's not even the end of it, so extensive and exhausting have been their efforts today...

perfect path

Look at the craftmanship in that pathway...it's the one that leads from our carpark to our house...but I'll hardly dare stand on it, now that it's been so meticulously blended into the landscape...

It would seem like an insult to their mastery to spoil this work of art by walking on it in clean shoes!

We so lucky!
