Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 11May 11, 2013 8:10 pm I just had to pay SA water $1,400 to relocate my water meter 4 meters as mine was also located in my driveway. SA water wouldn't allow anyone to relocate the connection despite the trench work being done by a local plumber and would've done it for a cold iced coffee.

Yeh, friggin' low life's that think that just because you have a skip (or we have a caged area) for building rubbish in your front yard it's an invitation for all to come and dump! Worst dumped thing so far - 5 wheels (tyres & rims)!!!!! ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 14May 12, 2013 6:58 am the rain it just never stopped Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 15May 12, 2013 9:48 am hmm let me see...oh yes we're onto CLO #5 and SS #2 and we haven't finished building yet, that and finding out we had to apply for our power dome 6 weeks after the builder telling us they would do it...and having no power and having to ask our neighbour if they would let us use their power so our bricking could start.

Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 17May 12, 2013 1:42 pm Most annoying thing so far by far has been the wait for titles - we signed our expression of interest and paid our deposit in July 2011, more formal paperwork in feb 2012, have been told various times when titles will be but they have never materialised. Latest date given is June this year. It's been sooo annoying and quite a strain on us personally. Plus, we may well have picked a) a bigger block and b) a different house if we had known how long we had to wait and look around and stuff. Grrrr! Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 18May 12, 2013 4:09 pm Homebuyers Centre using my power and dumping their rubble on my land! Because theyre too lazy to get a bigger extension lead or mix their cement at the front of the property where their power box is! Just got a $50 power bill and i've only got a slab down! Everytime I go out there and tell them to unplug it they just play dumb... Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 19May 12, 2013 5:05 pm That sux. LIH pays for the power while they doing my build .. I do pay for the water though... Re: What is the most annoying thing happened during your bui 20May 13, 2013 10:20 am Thankfully the quickness of our actual build has well and truly dulled the pain of the wait between contract signing and start date. But the pain of the retaining wall is still on the mind. Our builder required certification for a retaining wall that didn't even come up to my waist height and I'm pretty short. Purely a builder requirement. Council thought it was ridiculous when we asked them for it. The worst thing you can do is sign a building contract without a pre contract review. Over the years many people have come to me with disputes where they just signed… 0 8339 1 377 Thank you. That is really helpful. Once we get the place done and passed for OC we can upgrade in the future once we get back on our feet and not paying mortgage and rent. 4 5727 |
