Sounds good in principal, but could you imagine the builder supplying that type of info given that it could open a can of worms for the other few dozen identical dwellings already built. I get the impression that everyone agrees its not acceptable, but no one wants to put pen to paper and make it official which doesn't surprise me as its becoming obvious that in a small town like Adelaide, they're all looking after each others interests. I am sure there are retired engineers locally not affiliated to builders that may help out? Bent_8 Had the meeting with the SS this afternoon, told him that i'd contacted Engineers and shown them the damage and that they believed it needed fixing correctly, his reply, its all good, we used special grout, these are my baby's, I take great pride in my work, wiggled the bolt and said im glad I've set your mind at ease, I just shook my head. LOL special grout my back side, IMO, that SS should have his license revoked or some penalty imposed That is if he has a license?
