We Have Issues.

Last Friday we had a meeting with our SS. We have raised several points that need to be addressed, specifically in relation to the poor quality plaster and, dare we say it, the staircase!

And all we can say is: "Let the head butting begin". We have emailed our administrator with our issues and are awaiting a response.

There will be some very interesting discussions this week.
Stay tuned. Pictures to follow.

Much overdue update

It's been a while since we posted and an update is way overdue. Fixing stage is complete, kitchen is installed (other than sink and appliances), shower bases have been installed, frame under the stairs has been boxed and plastered and we have roof and roof tiles above our alfresco and garage. Must say the front of the house looks heaps better with a garage roof! Seems to finish it off nicely. The problem with the upstairs bathroom has now been fixed with the doors back to their correct position. We are very happy with the way PD dealt with this issue.

Although we have paid for fixing, we feel some "fixing" is still outstanding. Unfortunately our plastering has left a wee bit to be desired and a significant amount of the last week has been spent trying to sand out the "blemishes" in our plaster. We met with our SS on Friday and he feels we are going to have some probs with the painting due to the poor plastering. He plans to have one coat of paint applied which will highlight the real problem areas. He can then fix these areas before coats 2 and 3 are applied. Have a look at the mess the sparkies have made this week. Seems they forgot to wire in the front light.

Our kitchen benches have been installed but have to admit we are not that keen on them as they are a bit too yellow. The quantum quartz is "Sandy" but the sample didn't look that yellow - it's funny as the colour seems to change in different lights - just like paint. We will just have to wait until all painting is complete, tiles and appliances are in before we make our final judgement. IF the colour is no good, it will have to be replaced.

Went back to the display today to have a look. It is amazing how much better the inside looks with paint, tiles and carpet! Unfortunately we found a bit of a problem with our staircase (yes again!). Refer the pictures below and see if you can pick the difference. Keep in mind we paid the extra to have the SS ballusters to the whole of the stairwell, as per display. Looks like we are going to have another fight with PD about the stairs! Which look is your favourite? We prefer the display version, especially as that is what we paid the extra for.

On the good news front, our SS feels we will be pretty close to finishing at the end of January which will be great. Can't wait to move in!

Problem Solved.

After a very productive meeting with our SS today we have been told that they will remove and reverse the 2 bathroom cavity sliding doors. This will solve the problem with the basin clearance and also give the opened hinged door somewhere to hide.

We couldn't of asked for more and are very happy with the cost. ($0.00)

We also have had.

The garage trusses installed.
Base coat of render.
Pantry and cupboard shelving installed.
Fixing almost complete.
