Hi all. Can someone please tell me how the termite reticulation barrier is meant to be left at handover? Is it meant to buried? Ours was left in a small channel around the house uncovered. They said they would come back and prime it after landscaping is done. Also was told to cover in sand when lan...

So we still have a list of things to get fixed and M is not doing anything at the moment. We still have heaps to unpack but have started in the backyard. I have done two full days excavating footings for retaining walls. Tomorrow I will be hitting Bunnings to lay pipes for stormwater run off. Then h...

Speak to SM he will probably prefer electricity ASAP it actually makes it easier for them. Water was organised by M, can't remember but think they also organised Gas or atleast told me when to. Internet is killing me it has been a massive stuff up. Just make sure they know it is a new build so they ...

Just the standard, olive oil, cheese plater set. Nothing special I am still disputing liquidated damages. Is it delays you are disputing? Yes given the amount of delays I don't feel the standard payment is acceptable given it was M who were responsible for the delays.

So it finally happened. We finally actually have our house. We were to handover on Tuesday at 4pm but unfortunately they had lost our handover pack that has all the keys, remotes and other bits of paper. Also had not been sent the final payment (I was happy to handover without paying). As we already...

Wow that's a huge amount of progress! It all looks so good. You must be feeling so much happier now. Yep things are moving, also good having a key already to allow some of my deliveries.

Still have scaffold up!

So here is the update. Meet the new CM on Thursday in the morning he had organised painters to be onsite at the same time so we could do a walk through together. We went through the house and it was agreed that the painters would do my feature walls as that is what I was planning to do on Thursday a...

Is it just me or is M using the same excuse when their SMs go missing? They are "off sick" is the common response.... I hope you are wrong he is actually a good one and hopefully my compliment to M's General Manager helped, but I think my few meetings over the last couple of days with GM ...

Move rail right in, so foothold bricks are on outside only. Thanks I have requested it be replaced with a higher balustrade. They have finally agreed. The bricks are 220mm high from the ground so I was not happy about it.

So fingers are crossed, not very confident that they will get everything done. I raised a complaint to the General Manager for Metricon and have spoke with him twice so let's see if it makes a difference. Painter was there today and guess he will be there for a while given all the tape. Some things ...
