And finally my house will be complete!

Sander Rossel

So, well over a year ago I bought a house. Well over a year ago they started constructing my house. A little over a year ago my house (and the entire row of houses) sank into the ground because construction errors were made in the foundation... About three months later I learned that attempts to fix the foundation had failed and that the houses sank even further. Last march, when I was supposed to get my house, they started rebuilding it from scratch instead. And now, finally, after all this time, my house will be ready on the 18th of september! :D Luckily (for me and my fellow buyers) the project was fixed price. We even got some monetary compensation for the waiting. If I hurry it up I might even celebrate my 27th birthday in my own house. Yes, I wasn't in a hurry to get out of my parents house :)

It's an OO world.

Congrats on the new home!

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Thanks :D

Congrats! It is a nice feeling to be in your own home. Did you get some sort of guaranty (or independent review) that the houses won't sink in the future?

When you finally do move in, you might want to keep a kayak handy by the door for a few weeks, just in case...

The next time there's a bug in your software that causes delays, just remember that you're not alone.

.. and if your house sunk fully, you already had the basement done :rolleyes:

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Thanks! I didn't, but I know the length of the piles they used before and the length they used now and the length of the surrounding houses. And some independent builders recommended the new length.

A three story basement :laugh: Would be pretty awesome, but basements aren't very common in the Netherlands. They would be below sea-level and unless they're very watertight they would be flooded. We had such a flooded basement in my parents former house. They actually kept it that way.
