Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis - Base Render 95May 24, 2012 10:40 am I checked on the base render and the house looks great now. Its been looking the same for over 5 months so about time something changed. Unfortunately, even after numerous emails and phonecalls saying that the right hand light box is to low(by 1 brick) and being assured it was not problem to fix, it has not been changed and now the render is on. This is the sort of thing that gets my goat as now it will either be an uphill battle to get it changed, will require annoying extra time to fix IF THE TRADESMEN EVEN COME BACK... or we will just have to suck it up and have a wonkey lighted house. Bit of a shame really, with all the work going into the house only to have it look wonkey...

Thx ma2531. This thread was never meant to turn out like it has. I was meant to show the joys and excitement of building a house like so many other threads on this forum. Now its starting to sound more like a horror story.... New SS is too busy to return calls. BC the same... Day 264ish now of an originally signed 241 day build. The thing that really confuses me is that there was nothing major that went wrong with my build (..at least as far as Ive been told??). Being of reasonable intelligence, as I would think most people on this forum are, I don't need to mention much about my build for most people to draw their own conclusions as to why my build has gone for so long. ...and still no PCI in site... Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis - Base Render Pic 98May 25, 2012 3:15 pm It can be a painful disheartening business at times can't it?

Thx again Mclaren. ...I need all the good vibes I can get atm... We are very happy with how our house looks, but then again, that's what we paid for in base cost + upgrades so its exactly how I would expect it to look. It's just the long drawn out time its taken so far. When you add in a couple of young kids (one who has never had a room of her own), a negative bank balance, credit cards all Maxed out, energy company wolves at the door, baked bean dinners ("Look kids, its a special night tonight (again)... so its.. BAKED BEANS ON TOAST!! YAY!!!). I just hope the stress I'm suffering wont effect the kids long term. I guess we all face these issues and hopefully I'm just dealing with mine before moving in rather than after... Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis - Base Render Pic 100May 25, 2012 4:12 pm Must be hard ... luckily you like baked beans I bet you'll never eat them again once you are back on your feet ... try not to stress too much it doesn't help and you don't want to become ill ... take care For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!!
