v)_How have the works been prioritised? (Works schedule sent twice)
vi)_What is the status of the electricity and telephone wiring at the building? Does it comply with current rules and regulations? Can you please provide relevant certification? (yes complies, yes PIR Cert done. Yes Michele requested same - despite having received twice previously - ask her)
vii)_How is it possible that we discover such a large liability of the water tank in the middle of the works rather than before starting? How have you instructed the surveyor? (tri-annual test/visit happened to coincide with scheduled works - lucky!) The Surveyor has zero to do with items outside of the schedule of works - it's a management responsibility like the PIR Electricity Cert, like the Fire Regulations cert, like the Lift Safety cert - it's called Health & Safety (H&S)
viii)_TV aerial: the reference was to sky satellite dish, (vetoed by Flat 5 years ago then again recently - but worryingly, she's happy with Communal TV which does actually include a satellite cable for future use if needed - ALL as described in detail, cost, payments next year etc in emails - so how come all these stupid queries yet again - refer back to one of the 20 virtual emails received last week as you insist - must be there somewhere)
ix)_The Lift (quoted at £9669 plus vat (see attached Kone quote), not included in Surveyor's Specs, done by Management for £200 odd - Michele likes the colour! - all other comments are stupid, irrelevant and ignorant - and dark grey or black requested 'cos it won't scratch or show dust is without doubt retarded! And yes, I decided the colour, did the work and paid for the paint. And your pathetic photos showing usual errors still needing fixing (and are being) is typical of your ignorance of workings and schedules - just nit-picking to cause mischief - juvenile and very un British.
x)_Scope of Works and costs (Surveyor's Specs, A.R. Lawrence, £105,019
- www.mitrehouse.org)
xi)_Savings here and there (you'd have to ask a psychiatrist to get an answer to that - either you wish to make savings or you do not - Management does on behalf of those lessees who are not stupid or retarded)
xii)_Water Storage Tank (it's called force majeure - just bad timing coming when you're refusing to honour agreements to pay - could happen to anything at Mitre House, the Lift, the various pipeworks, the electrics, the plumbing etc etc - that's why we have to have spare capacity in the Reserves)
xiii)_Safety & Security - (answered above (iv) and (vii) - you must think we are stupid and retarded to live and work in a dangerous environment)
xiv)_Our Windows (no problem but totally unbelievable - you were just snooping (as you did with the Grangewood Quote when you kept them waiting 24 hours and then did same again being late for A.R. Lawrence - just wasting everybody's time as usual) and previously had the audacity to request of me impertinent queries as to my personal works association with A.R. Lawrence. You even enquired of me if the interior windows were included? Another very ignorant query if you understood exterior renovations properly especially after your experience above Byron - didn't you learn anything?) xv)_Managing Funds (only Flats 3 and unbelievably, Flat 5 have paid their usually requested £650 each (retaining their £2000 donations) meaning there is no money in the service charge to pay the Insurance - therefore (which is the norm), money is taken when required from the Reserves to pay for items needing paying - like the Insurance. By not needing the third colour (or as of midday, almost any paint at all) the £1875 cost was saved (and if you think an additional colour or additional coat of paint comes at no charge you are definitely stupid)
xvi)_Management Fees & Overcharging (you ain't seen nothing yet as believe me what you are getting for the fees charged at present is quite staggeringly good despite your
