Browse Forums Building A New House Re: JG King modified Heywood - Driveway 😞 1237Nov 09, 2017 11:04 pm Caulking done today. Seems a bit premature given we don't even have a backsplash yet and presumably no shower screens or mirrors. Can't see any evidence on the ground of mortar being scraped out of the expansion joints prior to sealing . Fan has been left running for days and now the lights are on .

I've been saying for a couple of months now that it will be the gas line that prevents us being in by Christmas. It was booked a couple of weeks ago now and as we all know if they show up and the site is a mess they'll leave and won't come back for a minimum of another 3 weeks. Still no new front door! That was meant to be delivered Monday. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Driveway 😞 1238Nov 11, 2017 11:15 am Driveway be gone! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Quite p1ssed off about the whole thing. I think what was there was perfectly fine. All we wanted was to see it with the house painted. The lack of communication on such a significant issue has been ridiculous. Redoing it may well cost us being in before Christmas because they won't clean the site for the gas line until after the drive is poured and presumably cured long enough that they can drive on it https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Driveway :-( 1239Nov 11, 2017 12:06 pm What a bugger. You've gotta wonder what they're thinking sometimes... Re: JG King modified Heywood - Driveway :-( 1240Nov 11, 2017 3:43 pm And of all the things they could have have kept as is they ripped it up without discussion! But I guess you could say that if you didn't like it with the paint colour that it has reduced the delay caused by leaving it a week or two. Just pretend it wasn't going to look any good that the colour would have been too white compared to the yellow driveway. Your original pick will look better. However I understand how your feeling about getting in before christmas and how close you are, so I hope the can still continue with the other things. Once its poured how long before they expose the aggregate, and why cannot they do the ground while its curing just obviously avoid driving on the driveway. Our driveway was poured yesterday, and I just imagined they would be doing site clean up outside this week and moving the dirt around the block straight away after the weekend. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
