Thanks, I was worried that it might be too dark as Council made us change it, but I think it looks ok. We originally chose Surfmist but due to reflectivity concerns by council ( such BS) we changed to Wallaby. I actually had to pull out the chart and agree a colour with them! Worst thing is that I changed the window colour to Wallaby too but forgot to change the colour of the winders from white to black so now it looks a little uncoordinated. Oh well.... first world problems as they say.

Each time I drive by the site and see it, I'm happy very with it. I can't wait to see it with the walls up and the render on. That will be exciting.

Some minor things.... i saw in one place the dynabolts for the top hat rails weren't in properly in one place and so they may not hold the 90kg panels properly as designed. Otherwise looks like a good job. Again anticorrosive paint was not applied to exposed reo which is disappointing. 3) Front portico piers and frames have been constructed. 4) Plumbing rough in done. 5) Further bracing completed in the house and frame bolted down to slab. 6) Scaffolding erected this week 7) Had site inspection to discuss quality issues. SM rejected my request so I escalated to CM and quoted the relevant contract paragraph entitling me to access. Meeting held 2 days later. Things discussed were internal stair treads not same length, wall wrap ripped in places, roof sarking hanging out in one place, fixing of chipped slab, hebel not properly brought right down in one or two areas meaning slab will be exposed, roof joists are bowed. CM has agreed I can have a hand wash basin in my upstairs WC. I met with plumber on site to discuss which was nice. Was also great to see him working on Tuesday when it was pouring down with rain but he still kept going because the roof was on which is excellent.

Sounds like you are on the ball with everything. I had areas of the wall wrap ripped also due to strong winds however I didn't raise it as an issue. A couple of areas were not covered and when I raised that with my SS he just said that it's not required since the area already had ply over it. I know I could of taken it further but chose to leave it. I think it's great that you are pushing them to fix them all and you'll end up with a great house. Hopefully it doesn't wear you down to much, Re: North Shore Newhaven (Sydney) 79Feb 10, 2017 11:59 am Drove past today, first floor wall wrap being installed with top hats and then hebel to go on next week.
