Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 05, 2007 10:32 pm Im not happy.. has anyone had this issue while building, Some person i reckon a tradesman is using my newly laid alfresco slab as a place to park their car on . . Went to the block tonight hoping to see some framing started which it hasnt) and said what the hell tyre marks some #*%^ has parked their car on it and caused some damage. They cant get in from the front of the block so drive around the back .theres plenty of room at the back to park... geez
I have sent a email to PD letting them know this has occured and to tell my site supervisor. Re: im not happy 2Dec 06, 2007 10:30 am It hasn't happened to me but I generally find all tradies to be careless. It's not theirs so why should they care?
We had a few instances of telling of the tradies building right next door. They kept using our front garden tap even if the block they were building on already had a tap! Then I've lost the number of times I've had to clean up after tradies who just leave their rubbish behind. But the people who were building next door were using the same builder as us. So we just called their manager and told them about it. Guy said he will speak to them as they shouldn't be doing that. Wether he did speak to them or not is unknown. Because the tradies did the exact same thing the very next day and used our water tap. I'm sure there have been numerous more occassions that someone has tried to use it but they can't now as it has a tap lock.

We found it unbeleiveable the lack of basic care taken by most of the tradies in our home. They must get so sick of fixing up their work after someone else had damaged what has just been done....

Mind you it starts at secondary school and just gets worse as the apprenticeship kicks in and they get to learn how to devolve from all the other thoughtless bas^&rds that hey work with.

Walked in to have a look ... lifted the lid and Yep .... used ! How anoying ! I can understand tradies sneaking in a quick toilet break on the brand new dunny without anyone else seeing, but you'd think they could at least remove the evidence!
