In Limbo

Well, as written previously we were thinking today was "D-day" to find out if our gas would be connected in time.

Ryan spent most of this morning back and forth on the phone to the gas company, only to be told at 3pm that they still can't give us a date and that when the trenchers book it in we will recieve a phone call.

I am at the end of my tether... Why won't these idiots just commit and give us an answer. It can't be that bloody hard to say "yes we can do it before the 27th Oct" or "no, you will have to wait until later on". I have lost patience and feel like going down and thumping these people. First on my list would be our Porter Davis site supervisor, as he got us into this mess.

Ryan and I have fought over these dickheads and it really hurts me. I just want to be able to have the last (so called) two weeks of this nightmare to go smoothly and then us to be able to move in and enjoy our house. At the moment I am in despair and really begining to hate our house.

There have been numerous times over the past few days where i have just burst into tears because this dream of ours (to build our home) has been ruined and we have been continually stuffed around making this whole process a nightmare. Ryan has been great at holding it together and supporting me, but it is getting increasingly tougher as the days go by.

At the moment we are in limbo. We have no date for the gas connection, our PC Inspection is scheduled for this Monday and our Settlement is meant to be next Friday. Settlement will not be going ahead unless these morons get their act together and connect our gas. Which means that all the deliveries and tradesman we have booked in to get things installed and delivered will have to be phoned and told that we have to re-schedule.

This is a major pain in the ass. And is so stressfull for the both of us. However, those at Porter Davis really don't give a shit. And that makes me even madder.

Fingers crossed that tomorrow we can get a definate answer and can move forward with this never ending nightmare.
