Probably didn't even realise until someone told him. ;D

Good lad! :y

That's what happens if you mix toilet cleaners in the pan..😂
-
That is shocking.
Next days building? Poor batch of mortar?

What a cool young man! 8) 8) 8) :D :y

I did notice a slight lump in the back of his kecks ;D

One less Fester on the road too...

Too much Fairy Liquid in the mortar? ;) DAVE!!!!!

even I use proper plasticiser and i'm a right tight arse :D
not one of mine ::)
no lateral bracing on the trusses and trusses not tied to the brickwork
so £100 worth of wood and ironwork missing has proved quite costly :(
fortunately no one died 8)
shame "building inspectors " and "mortgage surveyors" don't bother to stick their heads through the loft hatch and check such things ,but it's OK because they print a disclaimer on surveys >:(
Bloody builders ::)

Doubt a surveyor would have noticed that with a quick peek through a hatch. Mainly because no one would be looking for it, it's the kind of mistake you just wouldn't expect to happen.

That's his JOB ???
or HER JOB :D
I'm not up on wokeness enough to know how to address a surveyor who doesn't identify as him or her :P
Opti might know :D
to look for major structural problems that may leave the building society or buyer with a pile of rubble
lots of things get missed on big sites by building control because they don't inspect every property as they go up, just a select sample .
£500 to £1000 for a Survey that takes an hour at most and another hour back at the office to copy and paste all the disclaimers and press print , sounds like a nice little earner

A mortgage survey generally checks that the property actually exists, and that it broadly matches the description vis a vis size/number of rooms :-\

2 types
1: mandatory ,will the lender get their money back if the borrower defaults (which SHOULD include "is one of the gable ends likely to fall off ")
2: full survey ,which should pick up things like wiring problems ,plumbing problems ,damp/ventilation issues etc etc
though ultimately , the "builder" should have braced the trusses and tied the wall into the roof :D

Quite agree Dave. In my experience the pages of disclaimers are 10 times the size of the actual survey. My experience of surveyors has been dire, never finding the serious problems that exist. >:(

Or, in some cases, is it on Google Street view ::) ;D

Someone once told me about a chap who apparently obtained a mortgage against a 2D rendition of a house that had been erected as an eye catcher for a mew development in East Grinstead.
The development was a ways back off the main road, and this billboard had been put in about halfway along the entrance road and behind a tree or two and some landscaping so that you got some attractive glimpses of what lay beyond.
One can only assume, if true, that the surveyor didn't even turn off the main road, let alone stop ;D
