freakin' builders

I bought a house that was about 3 years old. The previous owners lived there of a few months and let it go back to the bank. The house set vacant for a while before I bought it. Anyway I picked it up in November for a good deal. We went all winter with high heating bills. I called the gas company to see what the bill was in the past because I thought I had a leak. They said it was close to what I was paying. I checked with the people that live in the surrounding houses to compare bills, I justified the higher bill because of the kids baths and laundry. Now it starts to get hot out side and my house wouldn't get any cooler than 86. :angryfir: I had the system checked out and no problems found. Come to find out I have no insulation in the attic at all. With a heated debate with the builder I finally got the insulation installed like it should have been in the first place. What I can't believe is that three inspectors signed off on the job. I guess they were too lazy to look. :banghead:
