Yesterday was spent spraying the front, bottom half of the house with water with dye injected into it. To no avail.
Water leaks were seen again, this time in the middle and to the right top corner of the kitchen window. But where it is coming from, nobody knows.
The attitude of Aiden from Wood Newton seems to have mellowed and improved, although he’s not even on site today as far as we can see.
Cutting a long story very short, today our living room on the first floor, visually unaffected and our only “haven” from all the leaks and work on the house, is having an interior wall (plaster board) removed to see if any water is tracking around the window in that room. It’s a painful process and absolutely horrendous to witness.
For all the work, destructive and intrusive as it is, we seem to be no closer to finding all the problems affecting this, and quite probably other properties on the Oxley Woods eco house development.
Not much fun being a Guinea Pig.
Tomorrow we will have owned the house for a year. Not a very happy anniversary at all. At the moment, it feels like the biggest, most expensive mistake of my life.
