House stuff
We have a date for the repairs to the house! Starting on 6th January.
They're going to have to strip out everything in the bathroom, in order to re-tile it completely. This means we'll be without the use of a bath or shower for a fortnight. So I've been on the phone to Nationwide/RSA to discuss options for what we do during that time. For once I actually got straight through to our claim handler, rather than one of her team, which helps.
So far options look like: a hotel for a fortnight. A gym subscription so we can use their facilities. Being paid some money to go round and use our friends or family's bathrooms. Or possibly a "bathroom pod" parked on the drive. I'm not sure how well that works in January! Personally for me, I'd quite like if they can provide a hotel room with a bathroom for us to use, but for us to actually *live* at home, provided we still have water for the loo/kitchen - which I'm confirming with the builders. We shall see if that's possible!
It's all just an extra layer of complication which hadn't occurred to me. But we do get to pick any tiles up to £25 per square metre, so it looks like the bathroom will look lovely when we're done! And we did get the money through for the electricity used powering the dehumidifier too. Progress. Slow, but progress.
