Finally after two months, we got our new front door! Has been quite eventful can you believe it? K was home yesterday and two men took half a day to install the new door. Alas they didn't check that it could lock properly and they left! K wanted to leave the house subsequently and realised he could lock from the inside but not from the outside. Omg how can the workmanship be this bad?
We were desperate. Our door salesman is this uncle who happens to live across the street and so in a desperate attempt, after dinner we crossed the road and tried to look for him, making few random knocks on people's homes and getting funny stares. Of course we didn't manage to find him - it was a long street of houses. The only clue we had was that he told us he has a Jaguar so we kept looking out for a Jaguar parked in the driveway. Lol. Turns out there were quite a few on that street!
Long story short, we had to kick up a fuss with the office this morning saying we can't leave our home and they finally sent someone down this afternoon to fix it. Apparently they told K no engineers were available on weekends (then how??) but I guess the fuss he kicked up made it work. The guy was probably traumatised by K that he had to call the company's MD to get someone in on an urgent basis. We also managed to get in touch with 'uncle Jaguar' who came down to have a look as well.
And yes, I am feeling all grown up having shopped and bought a new front door.

| Always wanted a knocker like this. Although my secret desire is to have a lion head brass knocker, to which K said we probably need to be living in Kensington or Chelsea to fit the look of the area :/ For now, I am happy :) |
