We’re having problem with our neighbour’s builder McDonald Jones. 1st they encroached there temporary fence into our boundaries without asking permission. We didn’t complain because we’re very considerate neighbour’s. We couldn’t go out on that side because there fence was on our property but once they removed the temporary fence we were shock we saw a lot of mortar splash on our expensive bricks. We ask the site supervisor to clean it. He dismissed us saying it was us because we’re doing our fence but that was before we start doing the fence. He eventually agree but they didn’t clean it properly. Call McDonald Jones office to follow up. I called them second time around just to explain because that the site supervisor was not answering my call. What happened next shock me. The reception lady name Karen accused me of harassing her. I wasn’t swearing. She didn’t gave me the chance to speak over the phone. She told the site supervisor I call 6 times when that never happened. Why would I do that , I’m not crazy. Just a lesson that we learned. Never to be considerate again. Re: Your neighbour’s builder 2Jul 09, 2020 2:49 pm Aria28 Just a lesson that we learned. Never to be considerate again.
