Mernda & Doreen Residen 2544Dec 13, 2010 11:38 am Im sick of being an owner builder, nothing works out We had bricks on hold to be delivered as we go. We ordered another lot to get delivered and were told that we only had x amount left as they had given some of the other pallets to someone else. Crap. Get what we have left delivered. This set (even though from the same batch) are LIGHTER than what we've currently got *sigh* Ring last week to put another 15 pallets on hold, and get half delivered tomorrow. Called today to say that they're out of stock?! and wont have any ready til Thursday. So not only will we have THREE variances in colour (the colour variance in the same batch is stupid, Im dreading to see the next lot) but now our brickies have two days of nothing, so will probably go to another job and may not be able to come back before xmas AND our roof plumbing is STILL leaking because they keep sending idiots who dont know wht they're doing to fix it The guy last week sat on the roof for over an hour twiddling his thumbs doing NOTHING while waiting for a phone call?! Install the stupid box gutter and get it over with! Esepcially now that they've broken half the roof tiles trying to 'fix' this thing Custom European Cabinets - Melbourne Kitchen Specialist PM for business details as website currently being updated!

Get all of your bricks delivered when you can and your brickies can mix them so it won't be noticeable. Too late, as they were bricking assuming we had pallets from the same batch available. Only have enough pallets for tomorrow and then its the new batch Bricking the front of the house with what we have is priority. Hubby is worried that the bricks will be red-y Apparently Austral has altered the colour noticeably, and we had two red-y bricks with our bunch.

Mernda & Doreen Residents 2547Dec 14, 2010 12:56 pm Got our fingers crossed for you. Will go for a drive past your place in a bit. Waiting on the plumbers to come. Water won't go down the drains in the house. Only 3 hours late Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 2548Dec 14, 2010 1:03 pm That's really frustrating about the bricks Bam Plumbers have been pretty busy this last week, so dont give them too much grief. Aaron worked around 65 hours last week. The hot weather was crazy, burst HWS's, then with all the rain - lots of leaks! He gets stuck at jobs because clients dont give him a break sometimes! Not that it's an excuse to be late, as all tradies own phones! Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residents 2549Dec 14, 2010 5:42 pm 3 of them ended up showing up and fixed all the issues in about 15mins. Friendly guys too. Just hate waiting around doing nothing when there is still half a house to pack. Is the shopping centre in MV going to be anything like Laurimers? If so we will be happy. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 2550Dec 14, 2010 7:00 pm From what some of the others have said on here the supermarket is now going to be a Woolies and have a similar setup to Laurimar which is great!
