A broken window during the build. A roll of black plastic stolen (pretty sure it was our neighbour a few doors up, who at the same our plastic disappeared, had a roll of plastic appear on his site - he wrapped it over his windows that were stacked so they didn't get damaged in the rain!!!). Two pairs of Aaron's workboots were stolen from our front door step a few weeks ago.
Re: What has been stolen from your build? 10Aug 27, 2010 2:45 pm You're gonna laugh: * An island bench (!) * 9 metres of carpet * Gas hot water booster panel The first two happened at the same time, and all they left of the bench was the kicker boards, a nicely cut finish and a pile of sawdust. The carpet was just ripped up, as was the underlay. You can't tell me it was your everyday street-grade crook or kids - it would've been messy. More likely tradies (i'm pointing the finger !!). It set us back an extra week, but to the builder's credit, they got onto it pretty quickly and everything's back to normal now. The gas booster panel was installed only a week and a half ago, that too has since gone but being replaced. Once we're in it should be fine, and put a gate at the front of the dead side. Re: What has been stolen from your build? 11Aug 27, 2010 2:56 pm Only thing so far is the leftover house bricks, SS said we could have them so we moved them to the back fence and they grew legs and walked away. They'd been there for weeks and you couldn't see from the street, funny how they were there when the roofies started and dissappeared at that same time as said roofies Re: What has been stolen from your build? 13Aug 27, 2010 3:25 pm paul.jason You're gonna laugh: * An island bench (!) * 9 metres of carpet * Gas hot water booster panel The first two happened at the same time, and all they left of the bench was the kicker boards, a nicely cut finish and a pile of sawdust.

Oh my goodness, the trouble some people go to. I am absolutely astounded As far as I know nothing has been taken from our site, but I can't even get into our house as it's like fort knox Re: What has been stolen from your build? 14Aug 27, 2010 4:02 pm What we have had stolen seems to be small compared to others I'm sorry to hear others have been through this as well. We live 25 minutes away from our site and it's a new stage of the estate so not many people living their as yet. I have resigned to the fact that it is out of my control until we move in Re: What has been stolen from your build? 15Aug 27, 2010 4:42 pm Lucky....we're about the same distance - but the funny thing is both these incidents happened while everyone around us (on the street facing side) was in ! But hey, if it looks like a tradie and walks like a tradie - IT MUST BE A TRADIE ! Re: What has been stolen from your build? 16Aug 27, 2010 8:12 pm Jazzie My sense of humour was stolen We moved back in a few weeks and I've found it again Jazz Love it sums up exactly how I feel - and I didn't even go through the hard yards of a new build just a reno All we had stolen was a manhole cover ???????? ************* First time renovator VIC Re: What has been stolen from your build? 19Aug 27, 2010 10:07 pm I also had nothing stolen! But then my tradies loved my SS - I had some of them tell me that themselves unprompted. BTW temp fencing doesn't stop stuff being stolen as the are so easy to get past - all you need to do is lift and pull 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
