Defects and finishing

Paint #1

We will repaint every area you mentioned, including the bedroom and bathroom area, and go over each detail until the finish is right. One single pass, after the tiling, grouting and fittings, so nothing gets damaged again. Laundry doors #5 and the brush holder #20 follow in the same pass.

Microcement marks with cooking. We suggest a beige tile; we bring a sample and the price.

Tile, or a protective coating?

Planned in 9001 like the façade. Dark blue as you suggest, or brown 8019, close to the window frames.

Which colour?

#19Photo

Skirting at the balcony door

Your photo shows us exactly where. We will check the girls’ balcony door at the same time.

We take the photo today, on site.

Scooters

They fit in the room behind the laundry. Access through the iron laundry door; a new door in the window is blocked by the foundations.

Use this room?

N8Wish

Once you choose the spot by the pool, we price water supply and drainage.

Where would you like it?

N7€1,391.50

Point 3 · the guest house

Guest house

Bedroom with lime walls and clay pendants

The feeling we want for the guest house

Now · November

Roof first

The roofer inspects, cleans and photographs it, and applies a temporary fix so heavy rain stays out. The full solution is designed into the renovation.

Before 23 December

The essentials, back in

Bedroom, sofa, chair and living-room table, installed by our team once the roof check and woodworm treatment are done. The kids’ partners will be comfortable.

11 January → early March

Renovation

We clear the furniture again and the builder starts. The end date is a target until the roof diagnosis is in, and the builder confirms it in writing.

Spring 2027

Your guests arrive

As you asked: finished before spring, so you can invite friends to join you.

Your hypothesis

Debris on the tiles blocked the water; heavier rain flushed it away.

Plausible: pines above the kitchen.

Confirmed on the roof, with photos.

Point 5 · gardening invoice

Invoice gardening works

Part of the July work was arranged by us. Scope and amount were not agreed with you upfront.

Your point (a)

The plants in the outdoor pots and the border by the air-con units were part of the plan.

Your point (b)

The polish-up on 10 July, the day you arrived with your father, was presented as a gesture.

Agreed on 10 November

One simple close€4,000 incl. VAT, all in

One new invoice from Bataille Living. The gardener’s invoice to you is withdrawn.
One net statement: minus lost belongings (€1,426) and router & fibre (€363).
Nothing else to pay to the gardener. The file is closed.
