I'm often left wondering why people can't just get it right from the start?
I think it's because they're often doing important jobs on Mondays or Fridays. On Mondays people are clearly devestated that their weekend is over and they have a whole week at work before the next one comes around so they obviously aren't doing their best work.
On Fridays people are waiting impatiently for 5pm to roll around so they can clock off and head to the pub for a few sneaky drinks.
Anyway I'm convinced the developer did my contours on either a Monday or a Friday because their mind cleary wasn't on the job. That's evident now seen as though doom day Friday saw me get stung with another $21,000 to make the house split level because the initial contours given to the builder were wrong.
Yeah good on ya.
Apparently I am now going to have a garage that is sunken into the ground with 4 steps going up into the house. More concrete, more digging, more raising of ceilings, more labour so more money. $13,500 of it unfortunately.
The rest of the sting comes from the removal of the dirt. Apparently I'm going to have an excess of 200 tonnes and to get rid of it I'm looking down the barrel of a $7500 gun. How pleasant for me.
I am feverishly hoping this is the last of the cash gouge and when the builder starts digging they don't hit a big pile of rock that will cost me another few thousands that frankly I don't want to give away to rock. Fingers and toes are crossed to the point blood flow is restricted. Hope for me guys!
