not happy

Met another concreter down at the house this evening . i had him concrete our pergola area at our old house 10yrs ago and he did a pretty good job. He gave me a price for Aggregate $4690, colour concrete$ 3520 and stencil$3850. I dont know wether these quotes are reasonable until i can compare others, but he said he will do me a good deal if i am willing to allow him to put a board up detailing his company and contact details.. he trying to get more work in the area.

Anyway im not happy i found my house unlocked tonight . front door unlock, sliding door wide open, internal garage door unlocked. i have a suspicion someone has left them unlocked on purpose , maybe planning to do a bit of thieving over the easter break.. well they cant now i locked the place up.

The good part about it i could go and have a good look inside and take a few pics.

updates

We went to the house on the weekend and discovered we could get in.. naughty as my son was climbing thru the window one of the PD workers came over and was having a look at us sprung bad lol.. i said to him we are the owners and i thought he said to me i will be talking to them next week and such and such is ur superviser thought now im going to be dobbed in.. well i heard him wrong he had said im corking your house next week.. i felt like a idiot.

Anyway they have grouted the tiles and installed the chinese hats (lights) and we have flood light outside our back door is that normal thought it would be a normal globe. NOW thats going to be bright will stung anyone who goes up the side of the house at nite.

We have the square basins installed that sit on top of the vanity top.Well i think that was a mistake getting them has they had to be postioned back against the wall so the spout could reach have too stand on tippy toes to lean over the basin.
