Week 37

Oh dear oh dear.

Good news is that they have made good progress putting the interior walls in.
Bad news is that the windows aren't all in yet and the house isn't sealed - so the walls could get damp and ruined (surely this is page 1 in the builders' manual?).
The GU can't even tell us when the remaining windows will arrive on site - he just hasn't got a clue at what he is doing.
The downstairs toilet has been done with Egyptian boards instead of a proper wall, as per the plan - so needs to be redone. Also it was done at 1.2 metres instead of 0.9m as per the plan.
The kitchen has an abwasser pipe concreted in the middle of the room - completely the wrong place and needs to be moved.
The abwasser pipe for the downstairs toilet is also in the wrong place - outside the toilet!!!! and so must be moved.
There is also an abwasser pipe in the middle of the office - the GU has no idea why.
In fact the GU couldn't explain why they are in the wrong place or why he has not checked everything was being built according to plan.
The structural engineer hasn't been called to validate the windows and columns.
Do you have to be incompetent to become a builder? How can a project be 100% late with only 2 weeks of explained delays? (unexpected sewage pipe through the property).

Week 36

Windows nearly fitted (I -was- told it was a 2 day job), and partition walls are now being installed.

Week 35

I love Windows! ... the glass ones of course. I am told they are being fitted today.

Week 34

Roof tiles on, drainpipes on, just the crest stone remains.
Window balustrades done, and rain water tank finally in place, and correction works 50% completed.
But now it is too cold to do much more.
