30 May 2011

Hmm... I don't know what to say anymore.

26 May 2011 has come and gone... and we still do not have the keys to our house.

*sad face*

"What is it now?" I hear you all ask....

Well, it ain't the builders no more. Nope sirree. They have decided that delaying us by 4 extra weeks unnecessarily is enough torture. So now they are behaving like good builders should....

This time... this time round.... it's the friggin' BANK!
Can you believe it? The BANK!

The friggin' bank has delayed us by another 2 weeks.
AN EXTRA FREAKING TWO WEEKS OF WAITING for no good reason whatsoever.

They lost the paperwork. So they tell me.

So what normally takes other homeowners and their banks 3-4 days to do has taken our bank 2 weeks, and they STILL haven't given me any timeframes as to when we will see the cheque.

I just don't understand, we've done everything right, we've done everything by the book and we've been patient and reasonable and yet we're rewarded with constant incompetence and delays through no fault of our own.

All I can really say now is that building a house is FRUSTRATING!
No... wait, it's more than that.

It's FRUSTRATING + HEADACHE INDUCING + STRESSFUL + ANGER INVOKING + GROSS INCOMPETENCE (with everyone you have to deal with) and not to mention MONEY DRAINING.

Frankly, I'm surprised I still have a full head of hair considering how much hair-pulling I've done over the last 6 months in particular.

I certainly don't recommend building a house to any of my friends, just let the morons deal with that drama. Buy an already built house and deal with the issues that those houses throw at you. Trust me, it's gotta be way more fun.

So when do we get the house?

*sigh*
Well, who bloody knows...

By my estimates.... and at the rate that we're going, it will be NEVER.
