1464864 2019-11-16 22:25:00 What retired builder? Trev was the name of ours, he says he is semi-retired.

Husband was semi-retired too, but we thought that meant he didn't do certain (heavier) jobs at all, not sit on his *** drinking beer during jobs, like TRev did.
And leaving early all the time.

Plumber said Trev is "well-known" in Napier, really? I wonder if he meant infamous.

No, our guy is a Gary.

His quality of work was excellent, can't complain about that at all.

It was just how long it took...anyway it was wonderful this morning, all clean and bright, and so lovely not to have to push a button for water....

1464868 2019-11-18 02:02:00 Wow. Final check today.
Builder took rubbish away and came back.
Plumber turns up.

Now a few days ago I had complained about the time frame and excessive beer breaks and plumber said oh we'll negotiate a discount.

So I deducted $500.
Today plumber denies everything.
Certain aspects of work to be done, the discount, the time frame, everything.
He says - to builder - oh extra materials (I accounted for), plus rubbish (No, included), plus extra work (what, I let builder off some work, not added any), say extra $1500.

I said no.


Plumber says 2 weeks is normal to do a bathroom, they know, been doing it 11 years.

Actually plumber became one in 2016, and started own business April 2019. I looked it up.

I said I am not arguing, if he wants to, he can take it to Disputes.

At which point they left.

Also, builder told us he was to get $300 inc parts originally.
Well, invoice says:


Plumbing materials $395.00
Plumbing Labour $1,300.00
GST $254.25
Total $1,949.25


Builder materials $2,300.00
Builder labour $3,200.00
Extra building materials $360.00
GST $879.00
Total $6,739.00 $6,239.00 Less $500 for over time frame


Invoice Total $8,688.25
Deposit Paid 1 Oct $4,137.13
To pay $4,551.12
Actually PAID remaining 16 November $4,051.12 $8,188.25

1464869 2019-11-18 19:11:00 If he had said upfront I wouldn't mind, but lying every time he opened his mouth....

I have found until early this year he was an apprentice in Auckland.
So qualified, rushed down here and set up shop.

Which is fine...but saying 11 years? Yeah right.
