PR's Finished Build - A belated update and a wedding Pg. 69

Congrats on starting the journey!
I assume you have a block of land? If so, what direction does the house face?

Handover approaching - damaged spa bath - what to do??

I agree with the above. Stand your ground and make them do something about it.
