Guest guest Posted May 14, 2000 Report Share Posted May 14, 2000 - don't do it! We've just started an extension and already its causing problems. After months of digging holes, we've only just started to go up again, but are now waiting for an expensive concrete beam floor to be delivered as the soil round here is c**p!! Keeping the kids away from the building is a nightmare as Caitlin is very interested in whats going on ( she keeps telling people we're getting a new house - if only!) Oh well. We might be finished this time next year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbour is having an extension done at the moment and the builders have been there since Sept 99, and so far 50k extra on the bill, and they thought they had been soooo careful with contracts/timing clauses etc. Nightmare.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 NO! No more talk on extensions or builders. We have effectively a 2 bedroom house and have to have another room built! We can't even get passed planning so far. So please no more! Sitting here breaking into a cold sweat and not from the heat.

At least the price can't suddenly sneak up by 50 grand when we're not looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
