First off the key safe is about 18inchs off the floor . Both in our seventys had trouble unlocking it . Back garden over grown . Thick dust behind bathroom door ,you could write your name in it , Dust on radiator in back bedroom.Cooker hob dirty .Water pump went off on the Friday morning, as the water heater did aswell . The worst was that the smoke alarm was disconnected,the battery was on a shelf in the living room . We did not know the battery was out of the smoke alarm. I just happened to look up on the Friday and the cover was off the alarm .
