Hi eli-kay123, I’m glad to hear that SP AUSNET has been extremely helpful in resolving this issue with you, was the metre installed as promised? And thank you for your feedback, it’s all very valid and I will definitely pass this onto the PD office, perhaps they need to re-look at the current proce...

Hi Ebony, Meter was installed sometime after 1pm yesterday and I managed to get the plumber to come down at 4pm to hook...

The gas meter has now turned up. 1. Plumber has been notifed and will come back tonight to connect the gas to the appliance. 2. Get rid of Origin and go to a new provider 3. Finally a home cooked meal tonight and hot showers for all.

PD shouldn’t have handed the house over with our gas. They will need to provide you with hotel accommodation until this issue is resolved. I would demand this. It’s the law. PD didn't help us in this way, and we didn't ask for it as I assumed the house was handed over to us and that is it. Yes the ...

I'm so sorry eli-kay123! That is absolutely terribble and definitely unacceptable to have to live that especially with children. If they dont do something i would report them to VCAT. Best wishes and i hope they get it together soon Thanks Sammyjane31, Origin is the one who have made the error, eve...

Hi Ebony, Our SS had contacted Origin Energy last week to get our gas meter with no luck and now it seems he has washed his hands from this saying to my partner that he has gone over and beyond to help us get our gas meter and to pretty much put up with it. This is unacceptable from PD as Origin En...

Update to the missing Gas Meter. Hubby spoke to Origin and demanded proof that the gas meter was installed because he believed it never arrived. Origin rep tracked down our gas meter and found that was installed at a completely different address and suburb (Point Cook). Well hello, why didn't they ...

That's terrible eli-kay123!! Definitely karma back to them! Not sure why they would take a gas metre, probably because it makes someone else's life a littel harder! Fingers crossed move in goes well! When you get a moment please post some pics of your home completed! Best of luck! +1 - who ever has...

+1 - who ever has taken this is an idiot... The reason I say this is the Gas service provider owns the meters, and they...

Will do Sammyjane31. Yes it sucks and I can't understand why they would want a gas meter, hot water unit I can understand, but a gas meter. Floorboard were finished being laid yesterday and carpet will go in tomorrow. I will take pics of house when carpets are done. NB: we decided to do flooring aft...

Just found out why we still don't have a gas meter installed on our new property. Apparently it has been stolen. We claimed one was never installed as we visited the property just about everyday and never saw it and Origin claimed it was installed on 3 Jan. I am sick of people no actually I wouldn't...

Very nice humble. Are you able to disclose the company you went with and the name/colour of aggregate concrete you did. Yours looks great! I've seen other types of aggregate concrete on peoples driveways and it didn't impress me. Did you do yours right down to the road or just to the crossover. I w...

Thanks everyone. We went around the house for final inspection before we picked up the keys. Still a few things missed by the painters so they will be coming out on Saturday to finish it off. Funny thing, I went around the house today with my hairdryer checking every single powerpoint. I went into t...
