An architect designed large house has had many problems with its
construction, and the owners are in liquidation. The house next door
to it has recently been sold, and the new owners hired a large digger
to dig out a spot for a garage.
They have discovered that the sewer pipe, water pipe and gas pipe from
the large house intrude several feet onto his property, through the
bottom of a 4 metre high concrete block wall, and are in the way of
his garage.
It will be a major job to fix this. The professional contractors hired
for the large house have been consistent in their general incompetence
and slow work.
It makes me happier to do almost everything myself. It's cheaper, and
possibly I'll do a better job.
