Hi,
I'm refering to your letter from Deborah Vaghan, Property Services, which I recieved today.
In the enclosed booklet, it says that this programme is mostly for 20 year old kitchens and that it's going to take ten days, to install a new kitchen.
The kitchen in my appartment looks almost brand new, I'd say.
So this would be a waste of money, I think.
These money would be much better used, in one of your older flats.
I'm also unemployed, and sits at home, and do my job-search, etc.
I don't want to sit for ten days, and look at a lot of builders, and get a head-ache, from the building-noise.
Perhaps people who work away from home likes this programme more.
I want to please get out of it.
From when I lived at MAS, I also remember that painters painted on my broadband-dongle etc., when they painted my room.
So I don't like these kinds of projects.
I think projects like these should be done, (when it isn't an emergency), between tenancies.
Then people don't have to have workers 'living' with them, for weeks.
And the kitchen is fine from before, so this is just a waste of time and money, I think.
And it would also be a bit like torture for me, I think, to have noisy builders, around me, for weeks.
So I want to please get out of this programme.
The main problem in this flat now, (10 Keith Court), is that the floor in the lounge, is twisted, due to that the radiator-heater-switch, was broken, at the time I moved in.
(I've fixed it with tape now).
The radiator-heater wasn't possible to turn off.
So it must have been like a sauna hear, for years, I think.
So the lounge-floor has gotten something like we call 'sol-slyng', in Norway.
Like what sometimes happens to railway-tracks.
They get twisted, in the sun, (in the summer), sometimes.
This is called 'sun-kink' or 'buckling', in the UK, I think, (from searching on the internet).
Something like this phenomenon has happend, to the lounge-floor here, it seems like, to me.
(Due to that the radiator-heater-switch, has been broken, for years, it seems probable, to me, is the reason.
Something like this).
So the lounge-floor isn't flat.
It's almost a bit formed like waves.
But I don't want any workers here, so I rather adapt.
Because I don't want to get stress and head-ache from workers around me, while I live here.
And I've also had unpleasant experiences, from handy men, when I lived, in Leather Lane.
They mocked me, because I was from Norway, and didn't understand how to use the shower, (I also had a bath-tub), at the start, in this flat.
Since the showers are more 'complicated' here in the UK, than in Norway, I think.
(In Norway we don't have the string in the roof. to do with the shower.
For some reason.
I'm not a builder or electrician, so I can't explain why it's different in Norway, unfortunately.
But I've lived in Norway for more than 30 years, so I know how the showers usually are there, so to speak).
So I think I've had enough of builders/workers/handy-men, for a life-time.
(If it's aloved to say that).
When Virgin was here, to install my new broad-band-line.
They sent in five engineers, on three different days, during two weeks.
To set up a broad-band line!
(BT only used one guy, and one day, to set up a broadband-line, in my room, when I lived in Mandeville St).
So I've had enough of builders/contractors/handy-men/workes for years.
I don't want them around me for weeks.
The kitchen is really fine like it is, I think.
It's some stains on one shelf, under the sink, (from some kind of leakage, I think).
But this can't be seen, since it's in a cupboard.
So I have adapted to this.
And don't think this is reason to build a new kitchen, with all the noise, stress and 'terror' that this would mean, to me, who sits at home every day, in the lounge, since I have two small businesses, that I try to build up, and my job-search, to do.
So this isn't what I want at all.
This would just be like a bother, to me, I think I have to say.
So I please want out of this programme.
(Like I've also informed you about earlier.
When I got your first letter about this programme.
I sent you an e-mail then.
And then I also wondered a bit if this was a joke, since you didn't sent the info-booklet, with your first letter.
If you had done that, then people would have thought that they had been kept informed.
Because I haven't found anything about this programme, in the LHT-publication, that i get some months, in the post.
So what about sending the information-booklet with the first letter?
Instead of waiting for months.
This makes tenants uncertain about what's going on, I think.
And you haven't replied to my last e-mail about this, from 12/3.
So this is also a complaint, about this).
I attach your mentioned letter, from today as a scan.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
Here is the e-mail you haven't replied to, (which I found again now):

Hi,
I attach a scanned copy, of your letter, from 1/3.
I don't want a new kitchen, in this flat.
I don't understand why I'm included in this programme.
The old kitchen is just fine.
No need to waste money on this.
The main reason I don't want to be on this programme, is that I don't like 'repair-guys', in my flat.
They are sometimes inpolite, my experience is, from the earlier addresses I've lived at, here in the UK.
(One repair-guy was inpolite in conncetion with a bath-room-problem, at Leather Lane, where I lived, from 2006 to 2011).
And they sometimes damage my property.
(A painted painted on my mobile-broadband-doongle, with white paint, when I lived at MAS, in Fairfield, last year).
And I don't like it that the repair-guys work around in my flat, while my properties, is everywhere, in the flat.
You could do 'stuff' like this, inbetween tenants living, in the flats, I think.
That is after I move out, (if I move out).
I really don't want this new kitchen, due to that I really don't want repair-guys in my flat.
I work from home and do my job-search from home.
More or less the last thing I want, is repair-guys here.
I really hate having repair-guys around, where I live.
(To be honest).
Since I don't like noise and strangers walking around where I try to think and focus on my job-search and work.
And I don't want to worry about
