boooom

And it sorta goes on a down ward spiral from here.

See, now that the plaster is in the final stages, the genius Plumber had to come in and ruin it all. 

It was last week on Thursday that left me aghast! 

Boom - and theres a fat hole in the roof. I dont know how it got there, but whoever it was wasnt watching their step. Chris and I can only guess its the plumber cos no one else has been on site.


What we saw on Thursday was poor craftsmanship. Basically the pipes were tested and connected. But the way in which they were connected was a shocker. Like a kid ripped through walls recklessly, bricks busted to get to the pipes, and most alarmingly, a pipe that was tested for water and left leaking over night!

Here is what we saw on Saturday morning...



I knew there had to be a reason why there would be a damp floor and wall. The pipe from the roof was leaking water overnight that the plaster board soaked in most of the moisture and tinkled down the walls.


You can see the yellow stains here - its the water seeping through.


Now we're left with another gash to another wall and insulation left wet. * Shakes head, tsk tsk tsk**


So Chris met with the SS early today. Words from the SS, "yea, water and plaster dont exactly mix"... So the whole bathroom walls, hall way are going to get repaired. We insisted on them getting the affected areas out and new plaster walls repaired in. Oh, and the garage roof is also going to get fixed. After the hail storms on Christmas day, a puddle of water also seeped through that area.

  1. All plumbers are crap I was all over them from the start. The worst tradies I can say.
