Thanks thefarmers for the electrical heads up. I've just asked our SS to get the electricians to check the connection!

Hi Donaldouk,
Unfortunately, no, the stairs that are currently installed are not the final product, which means that the flooring will have to come out.... They are going to replace the…

Great to hear thefarmers, so glad you'll finally get to enjoy all the hard work you've put in, even if it does take another week. Congrats!

I think thefarmers numbers are about correct. We didn't hold back on our electrical, our thought was that it was easier and more cost effective to do it right…

Hi Nasher, that's not good? What happened? I'd suggest clicking on the feedback link on a boutique email and sending your thoughts. I'm pretty sure it gets…

Hi Nasher,
The pre start process was painful at best for us. We almost pulled the pin a few times as we just couldn't believe how bad communication and…

Hi all,
Thefarmers - I agree that there is a massive disconnect between the office and the field work. I am pretty confident it starts with the supervisors, but…

Question: Has anyone had trouble with tradesmen smoking onsite/in the house?
We noticed yesterday that one of the plasterers was smoking, and my wife is really…
