Moving to Aargh 1 - fence 1

The new house itself does not require much work to be able to move in.  However, there is no fence, and we have dogs. Dogs that we like to keep. Well, most of them anyway.  

Our trusty constructor is busy elsewhere and absolutely has no time. That is a pity. Option two, a guy who does a lot of construction and maintenance jobs. Yes, he would like to do the fence, and he would make time for that. Great! In two weeks he'd start. That was mid April, so early May. Two weeks, so moving before end of May, maybe.

The fence is three parts. 

1. street side, right, where there is a low wall (60 cm) that we will put green mesh on.  35 meters long, 2 high

2. pool side, left: 50 meters grey galvanised mesh, 2m high, from lower left to uppr right, where it reaches a wall at the street.

3a. between the garden and the garage ramp, middle: 16 m green mesh, 2m high

3b. Alternatively: No mesh, but a gate at the garage entrance.

Mesh requires a pole every 2.5m, corner poles have two extra poles at 45º.

So, about €2000 stuff:


Comercial Vera

Ordered it, everything is in stock. When can you deliver? Tomorrow morning at 10? Perfect! We'll be there. 

Tomorrow morning at 10:00  - nothing. 10:30 nope. Should we call them? at 12:00 we did.

Yes, we'll come 13:30!

13:30... no. 14:00... Call again. Yes, tomorrow morning! No, we have an agreement. We insist: today. Nono, tomorrow morning. No, today. Silence. Or we cancel the order. Do you want to cancel the order? Yes. 

We already paid, the receipt was in Aargh, so we had to go there to collect it, and return to Comercial Vera to cancel. 20 minutes later, Comercial Vera on the phone. Again "tomorrow", and "no".  Problem with staff. Well, that is your responsibility, isn’t it. No personnel to help unloading the (small) van.  Oh, but we are two, we will help you unload the van.   "Ok, 30 minutes".

Stuff arrived, we helped unload the van.

Not expecting this from Comercial Vera really. We were fuming. We don't like to be told rubbish. Not by the mayor of Antas, and not by Comercial Vera. Why don't you have your stuff in order, and why don’t you explain what the problem is? And of course no sorry.
