Re: Building Our Carlisle Monaco 32 - Handover appliances query 195May 08, 2009 4:37 pm Hey Jo, Thanks for that cause I think it would be good to have the one piece of glass cut around the cupboard hopefully they will do it for us but we will see. I'm sure the dumper for you guys will be fine. Glen Re: Building Our Carlisle Monaco 32 - Handover appliances query 196May 08, 2009 4:45 pm Hi Dale, Yeah that sucks but if thats what they do if they don't work I can only presume they are all covered by warranty. They might want to do it this way as the warranty might start on the day of installation or the day of purchase. As a result in theory they install it the day after in you have purchased the applicances. But after saying that personally I would want all the appliances installed and checked as the house is locked up anyhow and if they are not installed they can still be as easily stolen if not more so than as if they already been installed. Glen Re: Building Our Carlisle Monaco 32 - Handover appliances query 197May 08, 2009 5:58 pm Hey Jo I saw on your blog that your shelves weren't moveable. How'd you go with getting them fixed as we checked this out and they said it would be moveable although it is not in writing I don't think in our contract? Glen Re: Building Our Carlisle Monaco 32 - Handover appliances query 198May 08, 2009 7:34 pm We're not moving for a few weeks and our appliances aren't going to be installed until we move. I suppose if we wanted them in we could insist but it is obviously an ongoing problem with them going missing. We don't need them till we move in and I don't think I'd cope with someone stealing them. I have complete trust in my builder. Our locks only went on this week and no-one has a key. The builder is leaving the back door open instead. I'm happier with no-one else having access to a key. Fi has moved in!! Re: Building Our Carlisle Monaco 32 - Handover appliances query 199May 08, 2009 10:09 pm Glen - you will be ok with your shelves, as you have done the fancy upgrade! Ydour tender specifies the laminate doors and adjustable shelves. We left with standard as we wanted white anyhow so didn't see the point of upgrading to laminate. Anyhow, we have given up on this one as our drawings etc did show what has been done.... but we did whinge a bit about having to interpret things rather than having standard specs spelt out. Brittany - thanks. Yes I think lots of builders do the same, so imagine it will happen to us unless we push. A real pain in terms of more time of work etc to be there when things happen the day after handover. We will definitely ask formally if things can be done differently.

Our handover was delayed a few times, and because of this, I think the appliances were installed on the day of originally booked handover. So I guess thats a good thing, I wouldnt have paid without having EVERYTHING done, so good luck with it. Installing on or after handover date is normal with Carlisle, for that exact reason - theft.
