No Anger - No Action

As you all know I had been promised that our roof would be completed by July 5th 2006. The day came and went and they had barely started the trusses let alone finished! On top of the delay they neglected to read the plans properly and so the studio roof did not match the plans. This meant that due to technical reasoons as well as time contstraints Clive had to be called in again to approve a solution that was technically sound for the truss company and aesthetically pleasing.

In the meantime, the sheeting was started on the main bedroom and NO start was made on the patio or kitchen. Day after day of asking for the kitchen to be done but hold the patio. On thursday, my requested was totally disregarded and they started marking positions for the rafters on the patio.

My request ACTUALLY had reason behind it : kitchen = plastering = final measurement for cupboards = make-up = finishes on time and patio = hold as we waiting for velux skylights)

Needless to say that by friday - I had cronic sense of humour failure. I am not proud but action had to be taken. I had plenty of words with the guy and eventually he guaranteed me that by close of day on friday the kitchn and patio rafters would be up as well as sheeting completed on the mainbedroom. To add insult to injury - his staff are too lazy to go downstairs to use the working toilet onsite and find it necessary to relieve themselves all over the walls inside our bedroom and my studio - DISGUSTING PIGS!!!

I was on site at 3pm when these guys walked off telling me that they were not meeting their bosses promises..... Errol then called Attie and told him off. He then committed to being on site on saturday by 8am.(he was unable to get his staff to take his calls never mind return to site to finish their work)

Amazingly enough I was hardly surprised when they only arrived at 9.30am! They did however almost finish sheeting the studio and will sheet the patio and kitchen on monday. He has even offered to cut out the perlons where the skylights need to be installed....... but the moral of the story : ANGER = ACTION!
