For all I know my builder is tearing his hair out waiting for trades to turn up too. I noticed this week though that the laundry linen cupboard door is not the same as it is on the plan, it's supposed to be a sliding door like a mini wardrobe but instead they've just put on a regular door...not sure if I prefer that or not, I haven't told my OH either...I know it'd p!ss him right off so I'm going to think on it before I tell him LOL oh no! Thats a pain about a different door. I really hope we dont have to come across things like this. We were lucky we noticed the windows were the wrong colour before they installed them, as I think the builders wouldnt have known and installed them regardless.

Final fit out for electrical and possibly plumbing this week along with driveway, paths, portico and alfresco concreting as well. Carpet happens next week. So so close, and I'm getting stressed with the rent and mortgage payments dragging on.

After four months stress, wasting time, no building progress and loosing our deposit, we decided to go with a new local builder and we are now happy with them!
