Express Two Storey (Ventura Group) build in Hocking, WA

Looks like it's all starting to come together!

Hi R, if you're lookinh at my thread again I read your PM and tried replying but because you're sending from anonymous it kept coming up with an error and not letting me send my reply so try messaging me again while logged in!

Thanks El ☺ can't wait to be able to have the whole family around for dinner once the house is finished and try it out!

So excited the upper floor sub-floor has been delivered and crane is booked for Thursday morning to lift it into place ?

All the upper storey framing is on and they've put up scaffolding after I took these photos ready for the roof cover to go on next week, haven't seen the guys come back to do the ground floor roof timbers yet so they're going to have a busy time next week to get it done.

I've been busy shopping more, bought a new hallway table from Harvey Norman and a stack of decor items to suit the Hamptons vibe we're going for. Busy stockpiling everything in the back bedroom since our storage unit is already full think I may have found the perfect coffee table so going to look/buy tomorrow, quickly running out of room!

Visited the house the morning and we've now got first floor downpipes, rendered foam panels installed (unpainted as yet) and the cladding has been painted. Loving the colour of the cladding, gutters and fascia against the colour of the window frames and roof

Feeling really impatient for them to finish what needs to be done externally on the first floor and remove the scaffolding so the ground floor roof can go on!

How exciting! Looks great

Grey float was completed over the weekend but we've had a pile of issues on-site:

- Stolen copper pipes to gas service (the thieves kindly removed the pipes and left the gas running and the plasterers realised when they arrived in the morning and could smell gas, lucky none of them were smokers or could have been disastrous)
- Stolen water meter
- Theft of electrical cable from our kitchen, one wall box for GPO pulled out and another damaged
- Plasterers have rendered over the damaged wall box (possibly because there was no cabling left to that one at all so they didn't realise?)
- Electrician had left draw cables to the theatre conduit wrapped around the top of the conduit where they'll be inaccessible after the ceilings go in this week, Mr Doe is a bit frustrated by the lack of forethought from them given he's a qualified electrician himself
- Rectification of the pre-lay in our kitchen still isn't right, the slab is now out of level where they've repoured the channelled section and we're not overly happy with this aspect given they've fixed it two or three times already

Customer service is still excellent though, we've raised everything with them and waiting for the supervisor to look into everything so fingers crossed it's all sorted out quickly.
