Re: FAO of builders
Can he come back and do a really neat job cutting it back about six inches and then graveling the gap? It's what we had to do in the UK in a house where the paving all round the house had been done the same. Looked perfectly good and solved any drainage/damp problems.
He's done a nice looking job though
Hope Cairns was good.

Had a great evening round Rooksies as well.

Re: FAO of builders
Which trade are you in? Will you be in PC any time soon?
I've been looking again, and it seems obvious what has happened. They haven't dug it out where the concrete was extended so have had to make it higher where the old was to get the fall.
I will speak to him in the morning and see what he says.
Thanks to both of you.

Re: FAO of builders
He has also left concrete on the land next door, the lawn is wrecked from the bobcat that picked it up which is understandable, but the other side of the lawn which the bobcat didn't go on would have been ok, except they dumped all the soil which he dug up on it and that has now killed that.
