Wtf? Who pours tile grout, silicon and glue down a pipe? Why don't they understand that a house is someone's very prized possession. Years of sweat and blood goes into saving up for that deposit. Thousands of hours of planning on top. Yet they are so reckless. I think from now you dictate the terms. Hire an independent plumber and get a solution from him in writing. Send the plumber's invoice to the builder and mention this is exactly how you want this problem to be permanently resolved or they will be hearing from your lawyer next. And ask for compensation related to your stress and time involved because of this. Re: Plantation Bronte, Ormeau Ridge QLD - Post-Handover 1451Oct 15, 2015 8:26 pm Unbelievable!! They should drag the useless tiler back in to do the work to fix it - although you probably don't want him anywhere near your house again!

I'll wait and see what solution they come up with and go from there.

A specialist plumber is booked for Monday. Our previous SS has done a fantastic job cleaning up other people's mess. Very happy he was put in charge. Yesterday I had to put on my Big Girl Pants and complain to Carpet Call, because the rug we ordered end of August had STILL not turned up. Every week they were telling me "next week". Well yesterday a friend asked for a picture of this mythical rug so I went on the Carpet Call website to find one. I was astonished that there was my rug, on sale for the same price we paid, free delivery and in stock. So I called them and told them this and said "please tell me why I shouldn't just cancel and get a refund from you and order it online." Well. They said they were "90%" sure it would be in stock by today. So I told them if it wasn't in our house by the end of today we'd be cancelling. Lo and behold, it arrived today! I'm not going to say it was worth the wait but it *does* look pretty good!

No wonder you were so patient Re: Plantation Bronte, Ormeau Ridge QLD - Post-Handover 1460Oct 22, 2015 8:33 pm Ahh how frustrating that you had to do that.... But definitely worth it.
