A few more photos

We decided to go back to the house today and give it a good once over because we thought the eaves were finished, and wanted to check them for issues. Well they weren't quite finished the eaves but I did take some more photos and we found some more issues. Can't wait to get our private appraiser back in.

We changed the main bathroom slightly over a week ago but they have continued to frame it to the original plan. Oh well more work for them to remove what they have done. They have blocked the wrong wall for the television in the upstairs living room. There are some steel beams that still have not been bolted together. We found some soil erosion under the slab at the Alfresco corner and bricks that are overhanging the slab (allowance is 15mm under the Building Code of Australia).

We had a site visit on Thursday with our SS to go over work that has already been done, things that still needed fixing and future work.

The eaves were being done at the time and the bricking was finished. There are still many things not fixed from our private appraiser's report, which we find a bit annoying but as long as they are done prior to gyprocking then we will be happy. They have taken all the stacker sliding doors out so they could finish the bricking. The doors are sitting there with warped frames, covered in splashed mortar which was very upsetting. We said to the site supervisor that we will expect them to be replaced if they are too badly damaged and don't work smoothly when re-installed.  Our question was why were they installed so early if they need to be removed for the bricking? Our SS said they had a management meeting at our site last week to discuss that very point and used our house an example of why the doors should not be installed before bricking. They have now changed the process so stacker doors will be installed after bricking for future builds. Too late for us but hopefully others will not end up having to have their doors replaced.

Timpelle were also there measuring up for our kitchen.

This week's issues: guttering badly scratched in places which leaves it susceptible to rusting and brickwork on bottom window sills uneven and doesn't match upper window sills.

Any way here are lots of photos. Enjoy!
