the dundasvale flat's had so many dampness problem's(the council not the gha) took out the original window's and damaged the concreate lintel's at the front of the window frame,
then the new frame's leaked into the seal's and the house's went damp, so that's why the seal's are being covered up with the overcladding and the new window's where put in, not cheap i tell ya!
no livingroom window, they would not let me out on the cradle tho
block 22(next to the piping college) a couple of month's ago te cradle's are now down.

They made a bloody mess of my garden
Alright it wasn't exactly showcase to start with 
Och if the GHA just stay well away now, or at least listen to individual tennents instead of treating us like one big ever so grateful camp, i'll be happy 
Anyway here's a couple of shots of the flats at Blairdardie getting cladding work done.

i live in the tower in the bottom photo, grafton place, we never got to pick the colour, unlike my mum's at cowcadden's which was put to a vote, how democratic eh?

Looks better than the usual cheap plastic jobbies they usually fit. My front door wouldn't stop anything. Thankfully we told them to f-off with the back.
They wanted to replace a barely eight year old, 2 inch thick solid timber door (and additional bolts i've fitted), with a piece of plastic sh!t.
This is what i'm talking about when I say we should have choice, they DON'T always know better. Some of their 'improvements' are a step backwards

well my mum is disputing a factoring bill that came through at dvc, the city (botchjob's) building guy brok two security door's to the roof(he bashed them off their hinge's, and the worker(loosley termed) deny's it but the repair bill is in excess of 300 quid, but split work's out at about 4.00, the principle is if city building break's it we (the owner's) have to pay for it.

I told my buildings factor the exact location they'd find the key to the attic.... they smashed the door apart and the key is still in the same location 6 years on

it's not the bill it's the principle, it is why i call the gha(the glasgow halfwit's association) with their repair company city botchjob's(city buliding), essential the same staff as the old gcc housing department but with a new name, you cannot polish a turd in my book. 
their parent company city window's screwed up the original window replacment programme in 2000, then again when they tried to fix it, i will post picture's and a web related link tommorrow.
