Did Christmas start early for PD in the East? It certainly has at our place with pretty much no one on site for the last two weeks. Of course when the rat's away the mice will play and I guess it is just the fall out from our SS being away for a week.
Although we have had no tradies on site, things started moving again on Thursday when we had a site meeting with the Construction Manager to discuss the staircase issue. It was terrific that PD sent out a senior manager for us to discuss the issue with. However, we seem to have differing views on what we paid for and what we have received so far. As it stands now, "T" has taken the issues back to the office to consider and will work out where we go from here. Hopefully we will hear back from him tomorrow?
Friday saw a call from our SS with a plaster update. Unfortunately more bad news there as he is very unhappy with the standard of the stopping up. He said he spent two hours marking up all the faults. Two hours - that sounds scary. Glad he is on top of the issue and hope he can bring it up to a reasonable standard. Of course this means more delays because the painting will be at a standstill until he is happy with the plaster. On the good news front, he believes the tilers will be working over Christmas so we may make up some ground there.
We also saw someone on site yesterday and it appeared to be the plasterer? He was not due back until Tuesday - obviously wanted to make an early start.
We were able to take a couple of pics on the phone to show the painting. Ceilings are white of course and walls are Reiki....

G&V. Shame to read that your build has slowed.!
You're not alone. I have little to update on my blog since last week, and still have nothing interesting enough to add to a new one..!
I keep hearing a shortage of tradies in the east, so Christmas isn't going to help..!!
You confident of getting a resolution with that taircase?
Hi G&V,
We're in Keysborough and are having the same issue with shortage of tradies. At least your SS sounds like he's on the ball if he spent 2 hours checking out the work.
Getting the tradies on site to begin with is hard enough, but getting them back to fix rectifications is even harder. That's what has slowed us right down.
But I would rather have things at a snail's pace, knowing that rectifications are being done, than having them power away and have to rip it all up at the end.
Cheers

G&V, just read your blog and also Degauls, perhaps the xmas slowdown is upon us as it has also slowed down at our place too.
R&C
