Careless craftsman?
If we meet in a settlement or the errors are corrected, the matter is out of the world. I hope that's the case! It's not large sums but a bit of a matter of principle. Plus, I would definitely worsen the situation if I tackle it myself, always turn the wrong way... should get a screwdriver. We'll see if that happens.
he goes bankrupt if it goes to court it's not even worth tryingKarinsbostadsrätt said:

Sigh.
It's sad to see things like this, but the best part is that it barely costs anything to redo it right. A few screws in the threshold, trim the door, and a rubber seal on the dishwasher. If you were my neighbor, it would have taken me 1 hour.
Yes, it would be okay to call out this person. Not to be prejudiced, but he probably already has a few bankruptcies behind him...

...Not big money, no, but troublesome and I expected a professional job since I am 100% unhandy when it comes to carpentry. It's a bit of a principle thing, yes it's just a few thresholds and shaky floors and baseboards on the walls etc., but so many careless mistakes. I got the feeling that I am too picky but that's not the case. If I sell the apartment, it needs to be in good condition.
The craftsman in question is a good person, maybe just chose the wrong profession.

Got lots of tips and advice and confirmation that it's not done properly.

Write a review on Eniro and Google. Preferably with pictures, then you'll probably get it fixed.Karinsbostadsrätt said:
It's a one-man business and here is the biggest mistake of my life. The job is paid for, I saw the errors afterward. Now I'm nagging about post-fixes and it's not entirely friction-free. I was focused on other things when the job was done (work etc.) and happy that it looked nice, so I didn't think about doing a proper inspection. Learned my lesson! Have previously learned in life not to buy cars from friends, now I've learned this. It's nice to have learned, though also messy.
The threshold is the worst I've seen. I have started attaching thresholds myself with double-sided tape. Completely screw-less and can be removed without damage when needed. All thresholds stay in place.
