Last December, we fired our CONtractor. He assured us we would be in our house for Christmas. After a pre-drywall inspection, several building code violations were discovered. They tried to hide them. A year later, still not in our house. Don’t build in Nova Scotia!
This story highlights the continued negligence that contractors & inspectors are perpetrating on home owners. We are in a similar position fighting our contractor for failing to build a house to code apple.news/Am3HlGzDTRUSWutu8…
Once we started to question the major deficiencies, they jumped on the ‘due diligence’ bandwagon. There was never any attempt to offer solutions to fix their errors.
I know I keep keep going on about our former CONtractor. Here's an example of what they consider to be skilled craftsmanship. No doubt they intended to hide it with cladding. Not an #IdealProject
Reading affidavit from former CONtractor/CONsultant is highly amusing. His crack legal team has gone for the oft-quoted Shaggy defence - It wasn't me!
Who forgot to install the very crucial sill plates on the slab - it wasn't me.
Who installed the roof trusses incorrectly - it wasn't me.
Who cut into a load-bearing wall - it wasn't me.
I was running a quick errand. I can check on him with my phone via the in-car camera. Another perk of #dogmode is the car is cool when I return. I think what concerned her is Tank was barking when we parked. He thought it was walk time.
As this is my last year in my 50s, I need to find a senior sport. I hate the cold so curling is out & I can’t grip a racket so pickle ball is out. I guess it’s watch the news & yell at stupid people.
With school starting soon, I’m amazed at how many parents wait at the bus stop. 1970-My mom tried to flag down the bus to stop for me & he waved back. Next day, she put a sign on me & hoped for the best. #genx
If I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. Plugged in the #Tesla & tripped the breaker. Good thing. Now charging using 110 plug. 🤬
I have had $$ in investments for a long time. Now that I need some, investment company is reluctant to give it to me. It’s my damned $$. Don’t make me beg for it.
Building a house is daunting. The plumber and the gas fitter are in a pissing match about who best to install a propane boiler. I can't make this 💩 up.
The housing crisis starts with intractable bank policies. @RBC is holding up a draw for an arbitrary 2%. Up to this point, we have paid cash for most of the build ~70%. Yet, they refuse to inform us exactly what the 2% target is.
Another failure is the inspection phase. No where has the inspector acted in our best interest. So many deficiencies overlooked.
