Its so frustrting not knowing whats happening. Wet areas tiling and downpipes and thats it since australia day. And i saw the electrician from the next door build using our electricity.

I just took a photo of his vehicle and will definitely report to simonds Building Simonds Prague in QLD Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 112Feb 04, 2017 1:42 pm Our painter has been working on and off since Jan 24. He still has at least another two to three days left. Maybe I'm expecting too much. But it's frustrating when they do a day's work and then don't turn up for two days (not counting Australia Day). And all our trades have been single guys (apart from the brickies) so everything seems to take ages. That's annoying about the electrician.

It won't take long to paint the externals. Maybe other trades will work on the fit out inside when the painter is outside? Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 116Feb 13, 2017 7:18 pm Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 117Feb 18, 2017 7:58 pm Week 11 - painting finished. Light fixtures, powerpoints and fans in place. Bathrooms/toilet done. Wardrobe done. WIP shelving done though its needs to be changed. I asked them to relocate the bottom shelf to the top as i want to install cabinets after handover. Informed crc already as i don't want this to add more days to rectify after pci. Not so happy with the external colors . The good part is its just paint, can be easily changed. Our app says pci date completion is 13/03. Haven't heard from builder but that is less than a month away. Really need to organize fencing...
