DumbStick 13 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Cool. I'm still getting used to our house. One door needs replacing. Still knackered to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I hear there is mad rush on for new homes to beat the consumption tax hike. Is that the case? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 The company we used seem busy. They have been here today again, a door being replaced and a few odd things here and there that need sorting. Was talking to the guy seems they have a few projects on the go. Overall, very happy with them. They are attentive to my obssession with wanting everyhing as close to perfect as possible. I know it's a battle I can't win 100%, but I can't imagine all companies would have ggiven the same experience. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 How long do they offer such support for DumbStick? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well, actually good question. They seem to give us basic support on the overall house for 10 years, though I presume that covers things like structural stuff. One thing we had develop was a small squeek on one stair - I told them and the next day the carpenter came and fixed that for us no fuss. All of the things we ordered and have will be covered by their manufacturers guarantees - which is what has been used on a few other things like this door that was replaced. Ijust told the building company and they got the necessary people to come. And they turned up as well to check all was good. It's re-assuring to know that we're not just being left now the house is basically done. Link to post Share on other sites

DumbStick 13 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Electrician came round today to add a few outside sockets. I was surprised the way he could easily 'add' some outside sockets on the other side of the wall where there are some existing indoor sockets. And can keep the indoor ones as well, it's not an either/or. I had two done, as I was also surprised that it only cost me 14000 yen for everything. It was a mistake to not have any outdoor power in the initial house plan. I just didn't think about it at the time. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Actually been on the news recently the increase in break-ins in this area. No doubt small compared to back home I would presume but.... it does happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 To prevent burglaries. And that's a problem where you live? In all my years in Hokkaido I never heard of anyone's house being broken into. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah but you're probably just as likely to win the lottery as get your house broken into in Japan I'd reckon. Hardly worth worrying about. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Go Native's what you call a "Japan expert", and has all the local data for everything*. *as long as it's to do with Niseko marketing, up until about 2011 I'm thinking of asking him for advice regarding some of my Dome projects.
