Should i laugh or should i cry now




The "final" inspection was on the 17th. Does it look finnished?

We arrive at 8 am in the morning hoping that before we go on holiday for christmas we will have a house to move into. They say that hope is the last that leave you, well it might be and i don't know what to expect after. If you never have been in this situation, leave it to hope and the fairy of hope does not arrive :) You want a miracle or something else. The hope left and in come; dissappointment, anger, sadness and just empty.

That is about the feeling we had at 10 am december 17th. It might seem that i am exaggerating but to me i am not.

The inspector person startet with saying at this size house we accept about 50 minor faults, could be paint in wrong places, wholes in the wood or some small things that needs to be fixed.

We walk around on the first floor for about two hours, after two hours and 80 faults (!) later the inspector said he won't even look at the second floor. This house is not approved to move into.
I felt drained out of all that we have put into this.

It is not the delay that made med sad, it is the fact that it has been builders on site that have built this house with no concern of that it should look nice for us, that they have no idea how to do things what so ever. It seemd like thay never have done this before, it felt like they just took the p*ss, that is how it felt, no care that it is a lot of time, money and effort from our side that has gone in to this. You don't build a house many times in your life.

Some of the faults thay have made just made us laugh, and somewhere i do think the inspector felt the same.

The person that sold the house to us, was there as well, and he was ashamed how it look, it was not Myresjöhus standard at all.

This is how it has been
November 28th 2008 1st inspection cancelled
December 10th 2008 2nd inspection cancelled
December 17th 2008 3rd inspection cancelled
Mid February is when they think we might have a new inspection



They have finally started with the conservatary, not a day to soon, apparently they have the drawings now, so that is good.
We went out there this weekend and believe it or not the hope come back. It now seems when they have got rid of the old builders and put in some new builders that things moving. Seeing that the other balcony is started and that the outside is cleaned up, was a good start.
