Browse Forums Building A New House Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 855Mar 24, 2017 1:08 pm Feel sorry for you Dawn.. You should be in by now... The builders post Xmas hangover is terrible... they work hard close to Xmas to get the money from us and then when they come back, they are taking their sweet time to finish the rest... Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 856Mar 24, 2017 2:41 pm Thank you all. I'm really struggling to cope.. and wondering what I should do now. I just never thought it would take this long.. I really have to stop getting my hopes up, as they keep being crushed. I just don't think I'm ever going to get into this house. It's such a small house I don't understand why it is taking so long... I'm planning to call the other person from the builder on Monday and let them know how upset I am.. they made a lot of promises and they can't seem to keep any of them. I just cant stop crying.. I feel so hopeless. I booked 2 weeks off end of April to do landscaping, etc.. but the chance of moving in before the end of April seems impossible. Wondering if I should cancel the leave, as I don't want to waste two weeks sitting around my parents place.. but at the same time I need a break from work and if I cancel the leave, my boss won't let me have anymore till post November. Suppose to be putting a deposit on my kitten tomorrow, ... might have to cancel as I won't have anywhere for the kitten.. I dont really think I can have the kitten and my rabbit living in my room for weeks.. Why does my builder hate me so much. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 857Mar 24, 2017 2:56 pm Oh Dawn that's so frustrating to hear. I would wait until at least next week to decide about the leave. If the tiling is complete next week April will still be achievable for handover! I know it's hard and so disappointing but the end is so close now xx Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 858Mar 24, 2017 4:50 pm Kat_1025 Oh Dawn that's so frustrating to hear. I would wait until at least next week to decide about the leave. If the tiling is complete next week April will still be achievable for handover! I know it's hard and so disappointing but the end is so close now xx I hope its close.. but the end of has felt close so many times, you just give up. When my land FINALLY settled I was like "omg cool.. so Ill be moving in in 6 months".. then nothing. then we got the council approval.. and it was like.. "omg finally.. 6 months no worries.." then the insurance finally got sorted.. "okay cool.. so now is okay".. then we started.. "yay 6 months".. then they told me it would be 4/5months at most, so I started counting down "5 weeks to go".. then start again at 8 weeks.. I just have no hope. I honestly don't think I'll get keys before May unless they seriously get to work. And they just don't seem interested in my house.. I hate that its just sitting there with nothing happening.. its probably get damaged or robbed.. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 859Mar 24, 2017 4:54 pm Sorry. I'm being a grump. Just spent an hour waiting at the dentist, after 3 minutes in the chair was told my braces are only a few more months from being off... last time I was there they said within 6 weeks ;-; it never ends. Oh well, time to focus on our monster garage sale tomorrow. Hoping to make enough money off stuff to buy new rabbit enclosure for my baby boy. Re: {dawn} Custom Build - Just want to scream 860Mar 24, 2017 4:59 pm Don't worry about being grumpy! Completely understandable. So frustrating when it's just so out of your control! I have everything crossed that it's not much longer! Good luck for the sale tomorrow! I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15244 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17012 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11596 |
