Day 6 (Monday)
Now I have to say I wasn't looking forward to seeing them on this day, as I know we were going to have a bit of a chat about things, in addition to the vanity unit shenanigans I'd found a half dozen or so other things that were concerning me over the weekend, including the devastation outside, a leaky pipe, the sink not being fixed blah blah blah.
But Monday arrived we had a good old chinwag about the vanity unit and their faces were a picture when I suggested a plinth was the only practicable way forward and that removal and refitting was on the cards. I could see the beads of sweat developing on their foreheads but it all remained nice and peaceful and amicable, so I left them to it with the conclusion being that they'd have a think abut it and we'd discuss it later that morning when they'd had a think about it. We did speak later and they proposed fitting a mitred piece of gloss white kitchen plinth under the vanity units which would sit straight on the floor and fill the gap so I agreed on the proviso that they took some progress photos and we would reassess it afterwards so in the end I drive home at lunchtime to check it out. Well it wasn't ideal but the gap was largely gone meaning there would be something to seal against when the vinyl goes down so I accepted it. Can't say as I thought too much of the mitre tbh but they seemed confident that they'd sealed it well, as they do kitchen worktops and the like.
The other items I'd picked up were just simple snags so no problems there.
They spent the afternoon doing the bath panel which is semi-permanent, that is there are two panels with a joint down the middle which cane be removed if necessary, each secured with two screws at the base. They'll be siliconed at the perimeters.
