Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 03, 2019 9:37 pm So I lent against the bath to open the louvre that is above it and was shocked to feel the bath spin away from my leg. Lucky that in the weeks since handover I haven't had a chance to have a bath as standing in it and leaning across to get a towel off the rack would have almost certainly resulted in the bath and I toppling over. It is up on the legs with none of it sitting on the floor and no silicone. If I spent several hundred thousand on a new car I'd expect it to be perfect. A home is the biggest investment most people make yet builders seem to think whatever is good enough. I'm wondering about the benefit of having someone go over the house properly.
