Re: In this forum we often rightly criticise builders.... 47Dec 12, 2023 9:22 am Some good news to close the year out. The bank paid us $154,000 yesterday! Only $32,000 to go now. We negotiated with the client to finalise his OC to get the final payment. It was a complicated OC as the council wanted a S88E on title ( that is covenant over his stormwater system), and that was a bit of a convoluted process. So at least we made some progress before closing the year out and we don't have to go on our break being stressed. See you all back here in 2024 Cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice. Re: In this forum we often rightly criticise builders.... 49Dec 12, 2023 11:47 am ![]() is that against the clients instruction? ie do we get to go into this break with the client being an angry little man? My partner saw him this morning and reported back that he was happy. There are a few minor defects which we have agreed will be fixed once all money is paid, so apparently he was in good spirits.

Like you said, one less thing to stress over whilst you are supposed to be on holiday. Time to stop and enjoy the break!

Maybe not today, tomorrow or next week...but it will happen and then who will be smiling. When you get a chance have a look at this YT video and also the following one...what great builders? You don't need to share their beliefs to truly appreciate their philosophy in helping each other after such a disaster but I'm sure they would put a lot of tradies to shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZuXwYuxM2E&t=4s karma doesnt exists. Bad people win at life all the time, conversely good people also lose all the time. You are however welcome to believe whatever you liek. The amish are amazing builders, they also dont have to worry about doing enough jobs to make ends meet as their community provides. Thats not an excuse to do poor work, but its just fact that theres a financial driver behind a lot of these poor outcomes.

Don’t be too quick, your book has not yet been written. Bad people never win because they lose conscience, integrity, peace of mind and freedom from guilt. Good people can walk tall with wellness of inner glow. To be bad you have to make a bad choice knowing it’s bad, how can that that ever be a win? It’s merely a tactical victory at the expense of a strategic loss.

Good people can walk tall with wellness of inner glow. To be bad you have to make a bad choice knowing it’s bad, how can that that ever be a win? It’s merely a tactical victory at the expense of a strategic loss. karma litterally cannot be proven to exist , like god cannot be proven to exist. Hence it doesnt exist. There is no objective proof to say otherwise. Its a wishy washy concept proven to be bunk simply by the state of the world. look around you. If bad people go what was coming to them in any meaningful way, people would think twice as a rule. But the fact is they don't, because for the most part, if you're not an idiot, bad things benefit the individual time and time again. bad people dont care about consciences, integrity peace of mind etc. Plenty of examples of this. Its usually why they have no problem being bad people and winning at what they do at all costs. Inner glow doesn't pay the bills, and walking tall doesnt mean squat if you dont care. You walk tall becaus you feel good about yourself. An dif you dont care about others, why wouldnt you still walk tall as a bad person. Again, look around you . Many poeple will chose the lambo over the pushbike. Making a choice that benefits you that is bad is a net benefit to you. Thats how its justified by bad people. Narcissists and sociopaths couldnt give two shts about consciences and other people. Just look at the finance industry ![]() You have your head in the sand if you believe some wishy washy idea like Karma actually has any basis in fact. Youre welcome to disagree, but you still cat objectively prove that it is real. SO no point arguing for it's existance. You can havowever have a philosophical discussion on morality and inner peace, just dont pretend Karma exists Re: In this forum we often rightly criticise builders.... 54Dec 14, 2023 9:56 am God bless your soul Foremost Building Expert in Australia,assisting with building problems/disputes, building stage inspections,pre-contract review advice for peace of mind 200 blogs http://www.buildingexpert.net.au/blog Re: In this forum we often rightly criticise builders.... 56Dec 14, 2023 9:32 pm ![]() god doent exist, neither do souls but nice try on the troll. hope playing pretend helps you rationalise your remaining years I had a good laugh at it, its ironic if people were told that a house came out of nowhere, they would laugh about it. If you were to look at a beautiful house and you did not see the creator/builder, you would not say that there is no builder, the mere fact by observing the house you came to a conclusion that someone must have built the slab, the frame, the finishing and the design. So, similarly when you look at the universe, the sun, the star, the precise location of earth from sun, the season, your obvious logic fails to play in this case, and you just come to a conclusion that "there is no God" Its like you are 100% that there is no God, you are just making assumption based on your flawed intellect.
