We have been SLOWLY building the house. The digging and plumbing went along well. both did a good job and the electricians also completed their work as requested. Then came the concrete, poor weather and the need to bring the mix from far away held the slab up for too long. The mix is called eastern beach with 5% bluestone. This is to be polished and has cost about 10k more thanthe original quote. It is finally down and the shed slab followed a few days later.
POLISHING. We are polishing over 1/2 the floor instead of having floor coverings and after more rain, a small attempt at polishing we still don't have it done 2 weeks after the slab was laid. The polisher has fractured his jaw and is off work for a week so hopefully this coming week will see it done. He has kept me informed all the time so that is good and I beleive the things he has told me.
THE SHED. After being promised delivery 2 weeks ago and paying the final payment we are still waiting for the local shed company to deliver the shed. I keep getting told it is going to happen but they all turn to be lies. I am still waiting and hoped to be putting it up this weekend. He trusting companies is getting less and less. No more full payments before delivery. I would sooner be told it isn't going to happen than being told it is but then it doesn't happen.
The FRAMES. We decided on steel frames with a mid state company and were promised 4 weeks delivery. We are now going into 6 weeks and again the stories turn out to be untrue. It is hard to trust trades companies when they don't tell you the truth until you have made all the plans. I have planned holidays and allowed extra time just in case but have been dissapaointed again.
Pissed off at this stage. Moving soil will be the work of the weekend again.
