Just trying to judge if what i feel is fair is indeed fair! ...
Builder has done some work, on clearing up the garden i notice that there is an off cut of 4x2 under a teak garden table with a pile of sawdust. On inspection there were/are 3 saw marks in it as it had been cut into as it appears they were using it as a cutting bench!
Now to me they sawed into it so they need to replace it, was it brand new, no but it was 2 seasons old and starting to look nicely weathered and oiled every season looked very nice. The builder has filled it and said its fine and you wont notice but there is a massive filler mark in an otherwise lovely table!
So am i being unfair wanting it replaced? i dont think so as they damaged it and so need to make that good. I still really cant believe they used it as a saw bench but i guess some people dont think too much sometimes.
thanks
