The latter one is obviously a dyslexia sufferer, but not in words but locks.
Most locks of course can be unscrewed and the vital part reversed...

Quite what the bath fitters were doing is anyone's guess. I've seen the loo
one before, its the toilet being too clost that is the issue of course. As
for walllights. My late father used to fit lights that way, it saved cable
he said.

I guess you expect to find a few odd things when you move into a house
that isn't new, but new to you.

First thing was a pair of wall lights, wired into sockets with the cables
running at an angle, only noticed in a certain light which showed the
uneven filling. They are coming out!

Removed the bath panel on the steel bath, to find that the nicely made
steel cradles to support it where lying sideways on the floor at the back.
Several offcuts of timber had been used to support the bath.

Flush handle on the toilet is a somewhat bulky wood & brass affair which
means the seat fouls it & won't stay up, really annoying!

Weirdest of all, is the bathroom door. The mortice latch has been fitted
the wrong way around. The flat side of the latch hits the striker plate
first. Oddly enough if you use the handle it does actually stay shut.

I might be a busy boy for a few weeks :-)
