Question:

My builder's whole family is in my house!?!?!?

by | earlier

We are having our bathroom done up at the moment so we have a builder in. I've just heard voices outside my room and it turns out his whole family is in my house.... surely this isn't right!? I'm the only one in at the moment so I'm not sure if there is a reason they are here or not but hmmm I dunno!

Is this contractor licensed? In most states you can demand to see a license, and if they can't produce it, you have the right to cancel any contract.

If they don't know that ur there, go into the room or hallway or whatever they r in act surprised. Then you'll have a reason 2 say " what r u doing here!?!?" After they explain, give them an excuse that u can't feed them all food, or there's too little room in the house. Then ask nicely if they can leave.

If they already know that u know that they r there:

Say hi, and stuff. Then tell them politely "what r u going here??"

Then follow what is above^(after " what r u doing here!?!?")

Um... hope this helps!!

wow... that is soo scary... hearing voices

Be very straightforward and ask them what they are doing.

After numerous renovations in our house being polite when you think something is wrong is something you do not want to do.

It's a business relationship, the tradesmen is being paid for this job.  You are the boss and you make the rules.

Phone the person who's sorting out the bathroom, (parents, contractor) and then see what they say.

Make sure they don't nick anything. :D

if they are actually doing something like refinishing your bathroom then you've nothing to worry about. many people own their own contracting company and employ family members. otherwise talk to the main guy about it. surely he has a reason for it.

You are paying him to build not invite his family over for whatever.He should not allow anyone in your house without your permission.Go in and say 'excuse me ,is there a reason why work has come to a stop and who let all these people in?Should get his attention.When they are gone make sure he knows nobody comes in without your say.

Are they working? But if they're only visiting I shouldn't throw them out, never upset your builder, he'll do a c**p job out of spite. Why don't you offer to make them all a cup of tea? They'll go home when they're hungry!!!

When we were having our garage converted into an extra bedroom, the workers would sometimes bring their kids. They were all Hispanic and it was hard to communicate with them. The kids would play with all of our toys and eat our snacks. I don't really know why they would come, maybe it is just how the culture is wherever they are from.

the workers shouldn't be in your house. they don't own the house so they have no right to be in there. usually workers come and go during the day and NOT spend the night. unless someone that has more authority then you has said the ok for them to stay, kick them out.
