It's summer shutdown at work so I'm in on mechanical projects. What I did yesterday: drove a hi-bay crane  What I did today: washed 19 years of accumulated grease off parts and made dirty jokes with my Japanese contractor through a cute translator.

I had a big gently caress my builder post all ready and my lovely phone connection lost it. Short version: builder does amazing work very slowly, plays at dolls houses rather than project manager. We're getting evicted (by the mother in law, long story but she's had tenants waiting since the original June deadline) and the only leverage we have is dropping out, which fucks us harder. Also, tracs light on the e46, wife stressed, house full of boxes, started work at 6, hate life.

I keep it under 60 when towing, that's the law here and you lose a poo poo-ton of momentum dropping 10mph. 1000 miles would take me out of Britain and across Europe though.

Our wedding and honeymoon together with spending money was about 6-7k. The rings (300 total) honeymoon and spending money was out of our savings, the wedding was 250 for the church, homemade dresses, reception with food for 50 paid for by brides parents. One of our friends paid 10k for the ring alone because he felt he had to live up to her parents expectations. At that point he was earning minimum wage  and I think they're still in debt now, 8 or so years later. That poo poo must put a strain on a relationship.

I cleared my student loans a few months ago, that felt great. I have enough in my savings currently to buy a nice new car outright, but it's actually all house deposit money so I'll have no money and owe 145k shortly. The house is worth it though, it'll be a great place to bring the kids up, I'll spend an hour a day less commuting.

Well the weekend is over, am I in my new house? No. Builder has apparently done all the paperwork required of him so we're waiting for the warranty certificate. The house looks fantastic but it's Still Not loving OURS. So everything has to happen this coming week, because I'm back to work on the 31st and my son has to be resident in that area to go to school the following week. All the paperwork and solicitors bullshit and bank bullshit etc. Good thing the loving builder isn't going on loving holiday later this loving week then. I could legit throttle the man. E: you can buy reverse bulbs with beepers built in, easy installation compared to wiring in a special box The house is full of boxes and everyone is stressed and I can't loving deal with it anymore cakesmith handyman fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Aug 23, 2015 |

I'm going to go clean the house and do a proper snagging inspection today, I'll also see if the builder will let me start putting curtains and blinds up. He sounded pretty pissed at me yesterday, might have something to do with my mortgage broker, my solicitor, his solicitor and his agent ask harassing him to get documents moved. I did say I'll raise hell on the phones. I have no sympathy for the fucker, booking another holiday when this poo poo isn't all sorted and he knew we were facing eviction.

Paperwork is moving, slowly, but it's moving. Solicitors have penciled contacts in for Friday. making GBS threads hell I hope nothing goes wrong, as solicitors don't work Saturdays (and seem to take 3 hour lunches ) that leaves us no leeway. Also snagging: 1 missing light bulb, 1 broken fridge drawer, a couple of scrapes in the paint, some vapor barrier in the door canopy needed trimming. That was it, literally. No leaks, incorrect fittings, missing screws, lovely woodwork etc, actually amazing. I had my father in law come check I hadn't missed anything just in case the optimism and rose tinted goggles were getting in the way.

I know no-one gives a poo poo but me but: It's all now in the hands of the gods. Or rather, in the hands of the building warranty people to issue the one certificate that's holding up me getting into my new home before I get evicted, the same people who assured everyone their poo poo would be done weeks ago. Apparently it takes 48 hours to populate an electronic form and email it out, not the 2 minutes you'd think. We're signing paperwork in readiness tomorrow, looks like I'll need to hire a van big enough for all our poo poo in one go, because it looks like I'll be filling it then parking it outside the new house and sleeping in the loving cab to make sure it doesn't get robbed if that form doesn't get in in time. Solicitors don't work weekends, Monday's a bank holiday, I'm working Monday to Friday anyway so I'm hosed no matter what unless that one single piece of magical paperwork loving turns up. No loving idea where the wife and kids will be sleeping come the weekend either. There isn't a  big enough.

Magnus Praeda posted:Do you have anything in any of the contracts you've signed regarding expected delivery dates? It won't help with the "homeless for a day" situation, but if you do, you can at least get after them for breach of contract. I'm in the UK, he's a small independent builder. There isn't really a formal contract until the one about handing money over. As I'm buying a house he chose to build rather than commissioned him to build a house I don't have anything. We were verbally promised end of June which slipped and slipped. The house is now ready apart from paperwork. We can't pull out because a: we've money in it for fees etc, a couple of grand all in. Not the end of the world but painful to let go of and b: we have to move this week for the reasons above. If we pulled out, found a house we liked and put an offer in today it would be a miracle if it was ours in 8 weeks. My wife temped for a solicitors once, for about £6~ an hour she performed the searches and filled in paperwork. It took an average of 2 hours to do one house of paperwork. It was then placed in a dated pile. When that date rolled round it was pulled out of the pile and issued. I get angry thinking about it. If they charged the exact same exorbitant bullshit fees and it was all over in a day I'd be happy.
