In our case the builder installed them as soon as the guttering went up, but they were totally useless. Our block is exposed and when it rains it is usually also windy so the plastics just disconnected from the drainage points and were of no benefit. They were always just flapping in the breeze until proper downpipes could be attached. It was also impossible to grade away from the slab on one side because we are built to the boundary there. I now note (after handover) as we are about to start the landscaping, the yard gully points are also full of dirt from from having loose soil all around during the build, perhaps these should have been capped off after rough in as well. Yes, neither is termite damage that is not covered by your house insurance. 3 6575 Thank you so much for the effort. We will use it to talk with builder. We also had idea of building duplex instead and seeking suggest ions. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=106744 11 13830 |
