Share some new build horror stories.

Well, our new build had a problem with the foundation. Cracks started to appear not long after we moved in. Turns out, the construction company didn't do proper soil testing before building. It was a huge headache as we had to get experts in to assess the situation and figure out how to fix it. We were worried the whole house might collapse if not dealt with properly.

A very common new build horror story is related to the foundation. Sometimes, cracks start to appear in the walls or floors shortly after moving in. This can be due to improper soil preparation before building or using the wrong type of foundation materials. It can be extremely costly to fix and can also pose a safety risk if not addressed promptly.

One success story is a family who built their new home near a lake. They carefully planned the layout to have large windows facing the lake for a great view. They worked with a great architect and builder team. The builder was able to source high - quality materials at a reasonable price, and the architect designed a home that was both beautiful and functional. The family moved in on time and within budget, and they are now enjoying their dream home.

One horror story is about a build - a - bear that seemed to move on its own at night. A girl left her newly made build - a - bear on a chair in her room. In the middle of the night, she heard strange noises and when she woke up, she saw the bear had changed its position. It was now closer to her bed, as if it had walked there. She was so scared that she threw the bear out of her room the next day.

Sure. One success story is about a family who built their new home with sustainable materials. They used solar panels and energy - efficient appliances. This not only reduced their environmental impact but also saved them a lot on utility bills in the long run.

Another common horror story is bad workmanship. This can range from walls that are not straight, to cabinets that are installed crookedly. I had a friend whose new build had stairs where the steps were all different heights. It was a safety hazard and had to be completely redone. These kinds of workmanship problems can be really difficult to fix and often cost a lot of money.

One new hire horror story is when a new employee was promised a certain role but on the first day, was given completely different tasks that had no relation to what was discussed during the interview. It was like they were tricked into taking a job they didn't want.

I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a figure standing at the foot of my bed with no face.

One new car horror story is about a brand - new car that had its engine fail just a few days after purchase. The owner was on the highway and suddenly the car lost power. Another is when a new car had a strange rattling noise from the dashboard that the dealership couldn't fix for weeks. And then there was a case where a new car's paint started to peel off in chunks within the first month, which was really frustrating for the owner.

Well, I heard of a new homeowner who bought a house only to discover that the previous owner had some illegal electrical wiring. It was a fire hazard, and they had to spend thousands to re - wire the whole place. Also, there are those who find out that the roof is in much worse condition than it seemed during the inspection. Rain would pour in during storms. And some new homeowners had a problem with pests. They found out their new home was infested with rats.
