    How soon can you hang pictures in a new build?

    Why can't we put up anything in the new build we have moved into? How long do we have to wait as it looks barren without a few things on the wall. If we have to wait more than a month, is there any alternative that doesn't give the builders a way out of honouring the warranty if there is a different issue?

    Move living room door

    Can anyone give advice? The lounge door is currently in a really awkward place. It would make much more sense to be further along the same wall (2 metres over) so we can fit a corner sofa in the spot opposite the tv. We would want the old door patched up as well. What sort of cost would we have to pay?
