I didn't check our bath and then noticed it only trickles out about a week after moving in. I have back and forth text messages with the SS and still havent heard from the plumber plus we have an outside light that was never installed that they are still yet to come and fix. I am about to email my client liaison :/ So annoying cos I loved our SS and I feel like I'm going behind his back but at this point I just want to use my freaking bath!!

At the other end of the window frame where we have placed tape over it you can look through the gap (it's way bigger) and see the render!! Hayles!!!!!! How did the move go? How are you liking your new pad? I felt like I was going behind their back too but now I don't care because the SS and liaison said we could contact both. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 1496Jun 13, 2014 6:15 pm Congrats on the land titling Ashman! Geez Pooks that's a wierd one with your window! You guys must have been freezing. I'm glad your SS finally called. Wait till 12 months? Isn't there like a 3 month inspection? Or don't HBC do that? Hayles sorry to hear about your plumbing for the bath. If we struggle to get onto the SS after handover, I'd be emailing our client liason. Thanks for the tip with water pressure at PCI too. I'm going to call our SS tomorrow to book in a walk through next week. My dad thinks I should be all over them at this point. Did anyone else have regular meetings with their SS?
