Bugger, sorry to hear that mate!

Thanks guys, I was a bit shell shocked today.
Have spoken more to my son and he is having an op next Friday and if it has not spread everything will be ok and if it has spread he will need chemo.
Apparently it is probably one of the best cancer to get for making a full recovery and he is feeling very positive. He already has two kids too so not a worry if he cannot have kids after.

My daughter has written off her car but she is ok, just a bit sore.

We were going to Bali with my son and his family Monday week but have to cancel that.
My son made the comment that between volcano's and testicles we hav no hope of getting there.

Hope everything turns out well in the end mate. I was given the new two years ago that my dad, AND my dad inlaw both have prostate cancer. Both diagnosed within a week of each other, both have had the op's, all is well so far but my dad's PSA levels are starting to rise again. Only a little but they are watching this very closely.

I think I got done by a camera car last night. Probably 55-60klph in a 50 zone. The bastards stick the camera warning sign on the footpath behind parked cars where you cant see it, then they put the " you have been speed checked" sign on the road 20mtrs ahead! MUNGERLS!

Do the crime pay the price eh
Cant blame police for hiding the sign.

Thoughts with all concerned

Fairmont homes, rude arrogant useless ***** couldn't build a lego house let alone an actual house people are suppose to live in. They should change their name and saying to Fairlyslowmont built to regret. And the clowns they have working for them should have their trades revoked for not following australian codes and practices. I seriously feel like driving the patrol straight through their office doors maybe then they'll listen and learn a lesson.

Hi dave97,

I don't know anything about the company you mention but we've built a few homes with different builders, mostly good but a couple not so. One thing we learn't early was always get an agreed finish date and a liquidated damages clause if not completed on time. We also stipulated entry at any time for inspection during the build without prior notification. They don't like these but if they want the job they will agree, they tell you it's not possible but I've had none refuse.
As far as not following codes or practices go straight to your local council or building inspector. We had one case where they used a nail gun to to put up the brace boards on the frame and that structurally weakened it by almost shooting the nails through the boards. I gave them the option to fix it and when they didn't I called in the building inspector when they tried to cover it by commencing the brickwork. We had a bit of a standoff but the boards were replaced and nailed correctly. That and other delays cost the builder 12 weeks of liquidated damages, all delays were his fault as he took on to much work.

Remember you are paying good money for the build so you have the final say and don't let them try and put it over you. Just stay calm and document everything, I always followup a phone call with an email so there is no misunderstanding.
All the best and hope it works out to your satisfaction.
