Right, I have just read this too open mouthed, I suppose after that crossfire I have to bow my head and say I am the crappy project manager along with my husband, who should have know better. Protocol of order of things to do on self build, haven't a clue, like most, I learn along the way, one being this forum because a project manager was on our wishlist but alas we couldn't afford one, like most, I am sure and struggle on through it.
But our build is finished, almost, we did it ourselves and everybody says it is a beautiful house, it is just, as someone rightly put it, we have a small bully, who didn't confer with us, prior to what looked like to us, unnecessisarily busting through our plastered/painted bedroom wall, to get to the bathroom suite??? The tiler, I may bow my head and say with a bit of cop on, on my behalf I should have figured that would be an issue but I thought the tiles would be fine behind the shower tray. I suppose presumption was my enemy in this case, that the tiler and plumber would know what they were doing, they are the experts, and that if a problem arised, I would be called. I will charge him for the hole in the wall but the tiles, I won't. I am waiting for the invoice which will more than likely include extra charge after extra charge, well he can run and jump, I am most definitely not in the mood!!
