My House

I love my house and I can sit inside all day vegging out on the sofa watching TV. But I have to tell you the quality of building materials now a days and the quality of work put into the houses SUCKS!!!!!!

Now my father in laws house is around 30 to 40 years old and that house is still standing solid, although it should have fallen down by now with all the bullshit that goes on in that house.

My house on the other hand is only 10 years old. Two years ago I had to have it treated for termites. Now I loath termites after having a bad experience with them. Before we moved here we had lived in my husbands grandfathers house. A week or so after my husband passed, the ceiling in my bedroom dropped down on my bed in the middle of the night. Luckily I had gotten up to wee, and heard the noise while sitting on the toilet. When I went back to my bed it was covered in ceiling and termites. YUCK!!!!!!!!!

Back to my house, after calling in the termite people and after them drilling holes through the floor all over my house I still have termites so now they have to come in every month to check and spray. Why do I have still have termites, well probably because my neighbour has them and those little bugger walk across the wooden beams that join our houses, their like visitors from hell.

Another thing I noticed recently is my ceiling in the living room is has water spots. My bathroom adjoined to my bedroom is situated in that area. So much for waterproofing. I just hope the water doesn't soak into the light that is there and electrocute us when we switch on the light.

Then there is the tiles in the kitchen buckling off the wall. By the sink. Then the other day I notice a crack along the tiling in my shower so this morning out of curiosity I pushed them and sure enough those too are buckling off the wall. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!

So as I said the quality of workmanship has gone down the tubes and that's why people keep moving cause once their house starts falling apart they sell it off to move into a new house to start the process all over again.
