How's the bathroom sitch going? Did they do better the second time?A ton. Because most people either aren't discerning, are afraid to speak up, or just flipping the place.
Like I always say, it's the same with the surfboardmaking business. People will accept garbage craftmanship for the same reasons.
We've had 6 contractors in the house over the past 5 years.
4 of those contractors have either done things blatantly incorrectly or attempted to skip out on finish work.
Probably left him an upper deck and bailedHow's the bathroom sitch going? Did they do better the second time?

After my home maintenance project of woe, I understand that.I'd sell and buy new before remodeling

Holy fook!
Am guessing this collapsed pipe is on your property....so yikes!He then runs a scope to see what's happening.
Totally collapsed iron sewer pipe.
BIG BUCKS fix to the tune of $21,000+
Guys had to tunnel under the house (several yards of dirt sitting on a tarp in the backyard) and, as I type, they are running a new trenchless pipe.
Total nightmare, fortunately, they say we will have toilet/shower/sink back in one bathroom at end of day.
So they started on the new shower.
Demo revealed a load bearing section of wood and concrete.
The shower designed won't fit.
So they're like, we'll just shrink the width.
I looked up the building code and shrinking the width will not meet code.
They only install showers, and at this point they can't install what I want.
So I want out of the contract.
Thots?
Yea, it's under the house, fortunately, the clay pipe from the house out to the street is B+-A-, otherwise another 10K.Am guessing this collapsed pipe is on your property....so yikes!
We had a main break under the street up the hill from us. Water was coming up in my water meter junction box in front of the house.
When I called the city to report it, they said I was on the hook for repairs and did I still want to report it.
"Well, considering there will probably be a sinkhole on the street, sidewalk, and my home, yeah, I wanna report it."
Turns out, the break was under the street. Water has just flowed under the pavement/sidewalk but above the soil and was just coming up in my water meter box in an artesian well kind of display.
About a decade later, the city told me I had to replace the sidewalk in front of the house that had buckled.......sigh.
Anyway, I know it doesn't help, but much sympathy my fellow landed gentry.
happened to a friend. had root intrusion, i believe. they told me about $25k for them.Holy fook!
Haven't looked at this thread for a while.
That is going on RIGHT NOW at our house.
Had a house sitter over last week while we were in Yosemite.
Get a call and the 2nd bath toilet is backed up and the wax seal is leaking while they were trying to plunge it.
$hit! (sorry for the pun)
Call our plumber to go over and root it.
Cleared it.
He then runs a scope to see what's happening.
