It does collect on my spurs and hat too. The horse usually waits outside so he's alright

A long long legal process but to cut a long story short and without going into any great detail another building company are in situ to start to rectify all of this total 5h1te.

When all is done and dusted and legally too I'll try put up photos so it can be seen in all its unglory.

When I tell folk that I know of all the 5h1t caused they look at me as though I've gone bonkers and if it wasn't for me then showing them photos and videos I'd think I was going fcuking bonkers too.

Edit - My father in law who has now retired ‘aged 83' builder of 50 plus years has even cried after seeing the total hell hole because in his words he says he'd have done absolutely everything if he was 20 or so years younger.

He sees the 5h1t and cannot believe that people like this are even allowed to carry on trading.

It's a total nightmare.

To cut a long story short I had a chartered surveyor in to do a report on a canopy that this builder had done for me because not only wasn't I happy about the standard of work but this dodgy builder had issued me with a money claim through the courts. This was in despite of me saying that if he put the issues right then I would pay him.

So, after the chartered surveyor had finished his findings on the canopy ‘which by the way he absolutely slaughtered' I asked him if he'd like to take a look inside my daughters house to see for himself such shocking standards of work and also explained to him that the more people who know of this builder/building company the better for all.

Anyway, he takes a look and cannot believe such shocking standards of work, takes a look out of the back bedroom window and points out that the extension roof isn't right and that it will start to rain in soon. He points to some of the tiles on the roof and says ‘look how they're lifting already'. and when I looked they had lifted 10mm or so.

When looking outside at the back of the property in the yard the horror on his face when I put the outside tap on only for the water to backfill because after they'd installed drainage channels they'd never even ran it to the drains but just simply butted the drainage channel up to a paver said it all you'll ever need to know.

When the extension was built windows throughout the house were fitted. I even had to point out to the builder that the window in the back bathroom was out of square by 25mm and looked horrendous. He put it right but it meant the render that had also been done was smashed off in order to get the window square.

I can appreciate that it's hard to believe because I'm struggling to come to terms with it too to think that there are folk out there who do this type of 5h1te.

Come around with that avatar of yours and click, click click until your hearts content.

Big big camera for big big fcuk ups.

Genuine question.......

How many pieces of architrave would one expect to be fitted around a door frame?.

If only the project manager was watching these cowboys like a hawk instead of letting them have an unchecked run for far far too long. No wonder he was fcuked off as well.

We all know it should be 3. How many did he use?

In reply to Post #20
Depends on where in the room the door is but usually 3

I have a few questions to ask

How come you didn't question the builder whilst the works were going on
If you had your concerns and you have a builder in the falmily why didn't you ask him to have a look
At least he could have “managed “ the build on your behalf.

To me a lot of this could have been stopped before it got too far imo

5.

Looks horrendous.

Edit - 2 x each side of the uprights in which he'd made the lengths up of consisting a 6 inch join at the top of each upright. 1 along the top,

Not that you'd ever join them but if you were going to it'd be more out of sight if you did the join at the bottom.

In reply to Post #23
Oh I did indeed raise my concerns.

Not as simple as it sounds to stop it before it got too far as had to wait until they'd officially said they'd completed it.

Edit - The only way out of his contract was if I had smacked him about and believe me not only did he know it but he didn't half try the goading stuff. If I'd have smacked him he'd have had the perfect reason not to return and not only would it have given him a perfectly good reason not to return but it would have cost my daughter tens of thousands to put the whole sorry mess right.

The thing is he must have thought I was still 5h1tt1n yellow to fall for his games.

Were they painted or wood finish?

In reply to Post #26

Wooden and then undercoated and glossed.

Even the paint work is horrendous, looks like the brushes were dipped in dust prior to and upon paint going on.

Even quite a few sections of wallpaper have got to come off because it's a **** show and then stripped back to brick because the plastering ‘cough cough' is a total mess as there's more straightness in tins of spaghetti.

Edit - you should see the joins that have parted due to movements of the house, mind you though he never attempted to disguise them properly in the first place.

In reply to Post #27
if it's painted and the chippy has spliced it properly there could be 100 bits and you wouldn't know.
Sound atrocious

In reply to Post #28
Just edited it then noticed you'd posted after I'd clicked submit button.

See edit regards joins mate.

How much is your half of the canopy costing you ???.... cos you must of done a fair wack on solicitors and correspondence
