Builders are like tuners, you need one you can trust.

I found that surprising but I don't know his true "sample size" (30 years on the job though) and common demographic - inspecting mostly entry to mid level builders I would imagine you'd always find things wrong, since it would only take one tradie out of the whole parade to cause a stuff up. The supervisor is supposed to pick that up of course!

They were still sh*thouse, so many things not up to scratch or just plain wrong. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/84/#findComment-1600183 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 1 This makes me think the inspection might have a bit of holier than thou going and probably couldn't work as a builder (or in whatever trade). Plenty of "can't do so will get a job critiquing others work" type roles out there. But either way at least he's spotted the issues. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/84/#findComment-1600206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
