Computiac, I feel for ya buddy. I hope they get everything sorted soon so you can get back to a normal life/schedule.

We went through almost the same thing 2 yrs back when our main water pipe rusted through & had to get a new one put in. It took them about 1 1/2 months to do it, because they would show up one day, do some work, we wouldn't see them for 2 weeks & then they would show up for another day, & so on & so on. We did eventually get the pipe put in, but in the front of the house for that time we had the temp line lying out, a big hole & piles of dirt. I feel your pain.....

Wowee, what a mess. Either they were overbooked for work, they were short on worker's or they were idiot's.
Maybe all of the above !

Yes, all the upper floor's are made of concrete also.

Upper floors are probably 1-1/2" lightweight concrete for fire and sound barrier. If the toilets are on the outside wall then probably some plumber spotted the hubs in the wrong spot. Most likely didn't account for the correct thickness of the outside wall. But then the general contractor should be checking before pouring concrete. Measure twice, cut once kind of thing.

Yes, should've been checked, but hard to see hubs when the toilets are on. How many buildings are there?

Only 3 things plumbers know. Shit go down > Stink go up > Payday on Friday.

Good morning, beeman. It's the bee's knees here weather wise.

They are not on outside walls. The floor's, from what I was told are 6" thick with a 14" chase between.
So, in other word's the floor above me is like a concrete square tube, 6" on the bottom, 14" chase then 6" on top.

I have three floors above me, the building is four stories tall. They are doing one other building now at the same time.
More buildings are contingent on performance and budget here.

They measured the width of the bolts in my place with a tape measure with the toity in place.
