 Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 7:48 pm Post subject: Gutter and shed roof |
  |
|
|
Had a revisited to a new build house today, finished about a months ago.
Not even the same shape, let alone same colour 
And now....
There is about 400mm gap between the side of the shed, and the fence.
But when laying the timber base, they must have measured the shed, and not taken into account the overhang on the roof 
Then theres the fence, but thats another story Should be back there again at some point, will get a pic of it

Was that the only place they could put it? I guess as long as it works.

There was about 400mm between it and the shed, moving it left 25mm wouldnt have been a concern

Of course they should have cut through the support not the shed roof, now that would have been very funny

Been back there today...
The fence on the left of the pic is vertical, the panel on the left is part of a run about 7 or 8 panels....
Instead of stepping them down the slope, they just put the posts in and panels on the the p*ss
The customer also had some extra works done, no pics, slabs laid on mud.... steps higher one side than the other... 2 different types of slab.... its a right mess!
She was telling us the chippy is coming back tommorow, to repalce a piece of kitchen worktop... whaich has a huge split in it
Still, could be worse... the house opposite, had 30 pages of snagging!!
The one to the right, has a damp problem, their wardrobes are going mouldy.... 
Not bad for 400k+

The support batten inside the fence panel looks p*ssed as well
So who are the builders carrying out this super work?
