Just an update….my boy is fine – been to dentists to have his cut gums looked at. Need to keep an eye on him for potential nerve damage but chances are he’s going to be fine. Reported the incident following morning – all at letting agents upset and concerned by the incident. Co-owner of agents came round in person with pressies for the wee man.
Landlord came round with his joiner same day and checked and put new fixings into all other units. He managed to antagonise my Mrs slightly by asking her if the boy has been swinging on the cupboard door. To be honest it was the first question I asked, but not sure I would have done in his position. After all, with the right fixings, I should have been able to swing off it…
The way I see it, if I bought a house, I wouldn’t have all the kitchen units off the wall to check the fixings. If I paid a kitchen fitter, I wouldn’t stand over them to see what fixings they were using. So even though we could no doubt take the landlords insurance for a couple of grand, it doesn’t seem fair to do so when we’re not out of pocket.
Not sure I’d fancy being a landlord though…..
