Hi braveheart, we had our walk through yesterday with Kevin from New Home Inspections and it is true to say that there was not any one area of the house that was sufficiently completed for us to be happy with and willing to sign off on ! I pointed out the basins to Kevin along with a printout of the manufacturers instructions regarding installation and he will be making it an item on his report. he did say that he had seen it done this way before but personally agrees it looks poor. SS claims that this is the industry standard. We told him that we would not be accepting this to which he said (without rancour) that he would refer it to his manager for a descision. I suggest that if your not happy with yours (I assume you have the same basins) that as the manufacturer has specifically specified how basins should be installed then you should insist that this be the case. Good luck!! Re: Opinions please 12Dec 13, 2008 4:33 pm Hi martyme
We had a meeting with SS and BM on site yesterday. Although it was a positive and productive meeting as our main concerns/issues were addressed we were told handover will not be before x-mas but around mid-Feb. We have come to terms with the waiting period and are now set to celebrate another x-mas in our small rental unit. We raised our concerns about the installation of basin in ensuite (same like yours) and the SS stated that it was done according to the manufacturers standard. Do you have the manufacturer's brochure? We might have to raise this issue with the installer/cabinetmaker to get his opinion.

Any hope of handover before x-mas? braveheart Re: Opinions please 13Dec 15, 2008 9:14 pm braveheart Hi martyme We had a meeting with SS and BM on site yesterday.

Hi Braveheart, You can download the pictures and installation details here http://www.caroma.com.au/products/index.html look under ( Model Leda Vasque Inset Vanity Basin) Some of the issues are being addressed but it looks doubtfull that we will be in before Xmas. The heavy rain over the weekend revealled a leak in the roof which resulted in the kitchen being flooded. Tiler was out today fixing it. Just another thing to cause delays. Re: Opinions please 14Dec 20, 2008 12:29 pm i have noticed that some basins will be cheaper if the installation of the goods is tricky!! Also works the otherway in that the expensive ones may have a simply installation technique!! Just an observation
