Really exhausted with builders. I don't want to list stuff but it's looking really bad. *deep sigh*

I hear ya - we had the same issue when we had our reno's done. Make the list though - it gives both parties peace of mind

Not for the faint hearted, but will be worth it. Started with this and ended up with this. 6 months of decisions every day. Keep lists. Get the cell# of the site super.pic.twitter.com/EbxThhP456

Don't be afraid to step in when things go sideways. I fired the HVAC contractor and designed and built the boiler/air handler/solar myself.

Still have a G1 license (that's a gas fitter for you non-tradespeople). Just fixed (I hope!!!) a friend's leaky basement yesterday. Working with my hands is good stress relief (especially yesterday's jackhammer!) from academia! Construction or cars...

Nice to hear your stuff went well. The end date was supposed to be the 15th. But no single room is done, quite a few items in plans "can't be done", the floor is higher in the bathroom, the kitchen is all here for weeks installed but nothing works, and on and on.

I'm exhausted but I'm heartened to hear from others that this is normal. Getting close to 5 months and I have to live here. They still need to rip out the toilets they wrongly installed and so much unbelievable stuff. London is so hard.
