Well, we're two months into our contract and we still don't have a slab. The builder is blaming the rain (and we agree, it has been wet) but perhaps if it hadn't taken so long to clear the rubbish from the block in the first few weeks the slab might have been poured before the rain came. In other events:
- the relocation company managed to severely damage our beautiful gum tree as they moved the house. They also tore up four nature strips - ours and three of our neighbours - and cracked a neigbours' fence post then refused to take any responsibility for the fence post. A few stern conversations soon reversed this position.
- the builder has so far managed to disconnect our neighbours phone not once, but twice. Excellent effort. The first time it took six days to fix and the next time the neighbours sorted it out themselves in a couple of days. He's also managed to tear up some of their plants and put equipment on their property without asking them first. At this rate we won't be welcome back.
