Yesterday rang and left message with A/C company and sent email to builder (got auto reply) and just left Facebook message to builders page. They got back to us saying if it's urgent we'll give you contact details to the electrician. First word I sent "URGENT" sent the photo's no reply back yet. I'll keep you posted. I told the wife if we get anything else wrong with the house we're selling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the house and block owed the guy around $400k in Angle Park. The workmanship was not good enough for me. Cracked and uneven floor tiles, cracks in the ceiling plaster, cornices separating, paving like a freshly jumped on waterbed, failed water pump for toilet backup and sunken pavers under water tank, failed main aircon unit (pinched end wasn't soldered and leaked the gas out), streaks in the one thin coat of paint and a lack of insulation in certain areas that made the house a sweltering hell hole in summer despite the 7+kw aircon in the living/kitchen/dining area. I would never in a million years pay to get a house built. I'm pretty sure the lazy-entitled gene has passed onto too many people now and it seems that we pay good money for fark all or to get farked in the arse these days. I'll either buy an older house that has had time to expose it's flaws or do a @Frederick and get me some building tickets. 21 minutes ago, Pixy Angel said: I told the wife if we get anything else wrong with the house we're selling. Imo once you get the wiring fixed if you are serious about selling then sell it before all of the problems I just mentioned come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who could they even think it's acceptable to rent out a house like that. From the above message we have received more messages from the builder and tried to put the blame back on us and asked where are we getting the advice from. Did I forget to mention that my brother in-law is head of department at Newcastle Uni, Senor Lecturer professor in ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING and you guys but they dont know that. Thanks guys. EDIT - off to work soon.....GRRR Edited 25/12/16 08:06 AM by Pixy Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that stuff appeared in the time we lived there. Mate don't get too wound up about your situation cos it won't change the anything, it'll just make you mad. Get some woosah going on and think long term. It will all be sorted out eventually. You might have to be assertive for a while but it will all work out ok. Think about it this way; off to work soon...money!!!! (and time away from annoying family lol) I found a good way to deal with GRRR is to hit the weights or go for a run or remind the missus what she signed up for lol. Ye'll be right mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electrician called and said they did not install the A/C wiring. They only use 42A and run 6mm wiring. He told me he can come out today at a cost of $400 plus parts. I'll pass that onto the A/C company...........NOPE! A/C people will be out first thing tomorrow morning. I'll get more photo's tomorrow of the inside 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
