Default They don't build them like they used to...

Despite the problems I'm having with the Bungalow and despite it's pitiful
(lack of) foundations, it's doing better than a few 11 year old houses down
our road here in Pembury...

Just heard that several houses are having to have the entire ground floor
slab rectified due to subsidence. The main foundations are fine, but
someone didn't prep the slab base properly. Apparantly these houses were
built by a few gangs in parallel and it seems that one gang buggered up
their lot, but the rest are fine.

Luckily for the owners the cost is being fully covered including
redecorating, but it's still messy and inconvenient for them.

Wonder where the Building Inspector was that day?

Tim
