After being seriously messed about by Wood Newton earlier in the week, and another decent meeting with the George Wimpey site manager on Tuesday another full day of disruption followed yesterday (Wednesday) as more water testing was underway on our eco house.
I could ramble on for ages about how unhappy we are with the attitude [...]
Although I’m not entirely sure where “there” is, but it’s nice to know we’re not alone in our situation, or at least some of it.
What the events of last week say about modern culture in the UK I have no idea, but I had a knock at the door from someone who lives just down [...]
Due to the problems we have been experiencing since early July with rain water coming into our Oxley Woods eco home, it was decided by someone at Wimpey that a meeting should be held with several important people present.

Our kitchen has unfortunately been troublesome from the word go. The units, which are supplied by symphony were in a deep red colour, which is bordering on brown. They are high gloss doors, and unfortunately the high level units in particular were in a poor state. Doors had chips and scratches [...]
