The wonderful world of plumbing

So the fact that the plumber who installed most of our pipe work was drunk (almost every afternoon) gave us another 'incident' the other day (Least we forget the 'Big Leak' see below).

The pipes under the sink fell apart, allowing water to soak the inside of the cupboard - the reason I found is that the joints had not been tightened correctly and the rubber washers had been put on the wrong end of the pipes.

WOW nearly 6 months since I last posted. So much has happened (ha ha).
We sent a letter to Induni asking what they were going to do about the mold - as winter is coming round again and there was not sign of anyone doing anything about the root cause (a cold bridge) ie bad design..
They have just replied basically saying it is our fault for not opening the windows enough during the last Christmas period (see other post about average temperature being -5)

Plans sent - at last!

This week we had received the plans for the servitudes (legal rights of access) for the complete from the surveyors – I have examined them and they look correct for all 8 properties and the communal areas.
THIS IS A GOOD THING – it seems my last email to Induni actually had an effect and the position of the famous water pipe is correctly positioned. So we can now start to put the access for the wall we need to modify the garden so that we can have the area of grass at the back of the house.

Getting the plans

So today I had to talk to the guy who has the job of drawing up the 'Official Plans' which are then registered with the 'State of Geneva'. The reason? Because Induni haven't done their job correctly (of course).
The famous drainage pipes which Induni 'discovered' after they had started building do not even appear on the plans they submitted and the garage has not been divided into official spaces which can then be numbered and legally joined to each house.

What a mess!

I really have difficulty believing that this company is capable of building even a bird house let alone a 'Villa'

Now it is mould ...

So we moved in - managed to get most things ship-shape in time for Christmas when the family would be coming to stay. By God it was cold with average temperatures hovering around -4C (Yes minus) go HERE (Meteo Suisse) to see what I mean. So guess what showed up (you're doing a lot of guessing in this blog but I think you are getting more and more guesses right)?
Yes you are right - another 'problem'. This time it is bad insulation on the four corners of the house - first floor and it manifests itself like this...

More Water - not a good sign

So it is the begining of the year (Happy New Year) and as normal it is raining outside. Going into the garage today I saw this...

The line down the wall is the 'Joint' between our house and the one nextdoor. The rainwater is seeping in! Dont' forget this house is new, imagine what it is going to be like in 10 years time.
