As a customer why should you have to compromise on the product you are paying for. I hope it gets sorted out quickly for you. ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2666Mar 26, 2014 7:00 pm Nice to meet you the other day too T & G.

Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2668Mar 26, 2014 9:11 pm K + J MadamImAdam Bag n paint would be the best solution for both parties. I would be looking at the positives in every scenario you're faced with. I don't see it as a positive when I don't want my house bagged and painted. I am sure there are plenty on here that would agree with me being negative when we have had the major problems we have had Agree K, bag n paint is just an easy way out for the builder. You'd think the cleaners would be experienced and would know what they are doing. To throw this on top of the pipe you must be feeling so .

I didn't meet the construction manager yesterday as he wouldn't make it back from Goulburn early enough to see. He going in site first thing this morning. I shouldn't have said I could meet him and just turned up yesterday, maybe he would have been there. Just have to wait for a phone call now, but as I told then yesterday there is only one answer I will accept K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2670Mar 27, 2014 6:22 am I thought we were building a 'brand new, expensive, home' not a repaired home.

I already have one major repair It's unfortunate. Clearly not the brickies fault. What can you do? My first home had cleaners using razor blades to clean all our sliding doors - scratches like you wouldn't believe! all were replaced. So I guess if you don't see bag n paint, or render, as an upgrade, then by all means request for them to provide a solution you're happy with. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2672Mar 27, 2014 7:03 am We have a roof yayyyy. I was shocked yesterday to find the tradies had been working and our roof trusses had been put up. Let's hope we get roof finished and windows in today. Just need this rain to do one now. Enough already. I will try work out now to post pics and then you can all watch as the house starts to take shape.
