Keep in mind the possibility that a realtor isn't being lazy, and you might possibly end up contracting your house for more than it appraises for.

Gounads posted:Builder called, footers being poured today. Having worked for a GC for a few years, I can promise you that a good GC will continue work if they are reasonably confident that payment delays are temporary and valid. It happens. Explain the situation, offer to pay with your savings so they see you're dealing in good faith, and they will probably continue work until the bank issue clears up, without touching your personal funds.

Just explain to them that you weren't planning on hooking the bedrooms up to the sewer system anyway.

Fourthing the love of washer/dryer music. I miss the LG orchestra at my previous house.

You say "extras" in quotation marks, what's the story? Change order from you, or electrician didn't read the plans right on his bid?

What exactly is their argument for charging extra for a detail their bid missed? You never signed off on a line item electrical bid, so they can't possibly put the blame on you. They were given plans, and said they could do all the work on those plans for a set amount. When you gently caress up a bid, you eat the fuckup, not your client. It's great that you're in a position to absorb the costs, but I'd be making a stink about it, and either the electrical sub or the GC (who is supposed to be keeping subs accountable) would be eating those basement outlets. Especially since you're being reasonable regarding the cabinet lights which were called out on an RFP that I'm assuming he also bid off of.

Gounads posted:The things I'm eating weren't on the plans. Ahhhh, pardon my tone then (which obviously wasn't intended towards you in the first place). I thought you had said the basement outlets were. ...... and now I think I see my confusion. 'Not paying for the basement' means *you* aren't? I took it to mean *they* weren't paying for it.

Are you in one of the areas of the country where the whole wall gets a skim coat, not just seams? No reason for asking really, just curiosity.

No cable when you move in? Look man, you accomplished a lot here. It was a great thread. But nobody will judge you if you just abandon the place, file bankruptcy, and go find a nice cable-ready apartment.

Ferremit posted:Or you just fit residual current devices into the switchboard and cover every circuit in your home like we do here in AU. Only wire in my house that doesnt have protection is the underground run to the shed, then from that point every single circuit breaker is an RCD breaker and every wall socket and light fitting is protected.
