Think I upset a 1st time home owner ....

Correct.

I'm sure most on here have seen the posts on the local 'gossip' pages on Facebook. Normally goes something like:

Need an electrician to sort out an urgent problem I created whilst trying to save a few pennies whilst attempting to do something dangerous I have no grasp of. Must be able to start in 5 minutes and be very cheap! (Ok I may have changed that slightly)

Then watch the local bottom feeders spring in action! Or more likely their WAGS. I keep well well clear!

Here I go again...
Never buy a New Build unless there is no other option open to you!
There are a few exceptions, as some of the new flats, built with concrete floors, can be ok structurally...but electrically they are just as bad as the worst semi-detached or detached...and those 3 or 4 storey flats with a timber frame? Plague! Avoid!

Sounds like you're familiar with the properties at Glasgow Harbour too.

Leave home in the morning, come home on the expressway...oh...there's a bit of my roof on the road!

Still, there are compensations for living/working in Glasgow Harbour...
1. You don't need a big drill, as the walls are made of rice paper.
2.All the bathrooms are internal, and the extractor fans vent directly into the service ducts...so very easy to replace...or just wire them up!
3. The window cleaning costs are astronomical, so undercut the current guys!
4. There are lots of attractive ladies from the East hanging around and eager to assist you with your frustrations..and empty your wallet.
5. You can get fantastic pictures of a minesweeper.
6. Never a problem parking! Just leave it anywhere...chances are 50 - 50 it'll still be there when you get back....wheels, though? Dunno...

Sounds like you're a Govan lad.

Not quite a Govan lad, but I've spent some time around there...
