The in-laws had a crappy 2 weeks over at the apartment as our downstairs neighbour has taken it upon himself to use the key we (stupidly) gave him to come and go as he pleases and make as much mess as he can on our balcony.
I do feel sorry for him because he's had to put up with the leak every time it rains but I don't blame Lyn & Joe (in-laws) for snapping and taking back the key. They seem to think that neighbour may have caused the leak himself when fitting an air con unit to the wall........hmmm.
Neighbour then called his friend in to do the repairs on the same day that Joe had bought a load of gear to have a go at fixing it himself as he's a pretty good handyman so Joe had to take all the stuff he'd bought back to the DIY store at La Canada.
Then neighbour smacks us with a €400 bill which he expects us to pay. We've tried to explain to him that it's a shared drain so we should split it 4 ways but he's having none of it. We're waiting for a call from him as we're only going to send him €100 and see what happens........
On a lighter note, we let the apartment this week to Chris's work colleague. He came round last Thursday and we gave him a little orientation session on google earth, and handed over 2 sets of keys telling him to keep one set and give another to his girlfriend so if you lost one set you're still covered.
At 06:45 on Sunday morning we get a call "I've lost the keys...what am I going to do??" Luckily the estate agents have a set but they weren't open until Monday so he had to get a room at the Diana Park as all the hotels in Estepona town centre were full. As it turns out, we don't have to charge him for getting new keys cut as Birmingham Airport have the lost ones waiting for him to collect when he returns................
