We have trusses!

This was taken a week ago, so the house has developed more over the past week,. The trusses are now all up as well as almost all of the frame! Our builder rang me this morning telling me that someone had broken into his container overnight (which was securely locked) and stolen over $7000 worth of his tools!!

It's so frustrating - for him and us. He's not sure if insurance can cover it or not, and I feel terrible for him, but I'm just hoping it doesn't hold things up too much. He said he thought the container was a good idea to store things onsite, but now is going to get rid of it which means more going back and forth with tools and equipment.

I just keep reminding myself - it WILL be worth it in the end :)

  1. Wow - it looks like a house! How annoying about the builder's tools - surely his insurance should cover it - I hope so.
    And YES it will SO be worth it!

  7. Oh No!!! I hope it is covered- insurance usually doesn’t cover onsite tools but given that it was in a secure container I sure hope they do! It is really common and so sad. Why do people feel that they have the right to take what you (your builder) have worked hard to obtain?! So sad!!!

  10. Damn Mongrels.
    I too had to really have a laugh about Simone's remark.
    Hope Nathan can get his insurance company to cover it all.
    Love Mum.
