The lengths they will go to to save $50 per day marina, seriously! That is laughable. How many days are they trying to claim??? Keep fighting that one ....

When does it end

Villinaeliters · Oct 27, 2015 9:08 pm

In about 12 more months .... Unfortunately the keys are not the end! Almost worse than a bad marriage ... You know you want out, but can't get out until they do x, y, z etc .... Just keep that new fridge stocked with lots of

They are claiming 11 days

marina12 · Oct 27, 2015 9:58 pm

I have an email from SS a week after the first day they are claiming to say that work in wet areas has stopped but they will continue to move forward with majority of house which proves they were working on house.

Marina12, 11 days is long time. M Might argue that wet aera tiling is critical path. You should try to prove it is not.

marina12 · Oct 28, 2015 7:53 am

They were tiling the alfresco and portico during this time

Villinaeliters · Oct 28, 2015 8:21 am

11 days is outrageous ... In that case i would keep fighting to get those tiles changed (keep escalating & escalating) .... Then once they are changed, you will get those 11 days (ie $550 .... As i assume you are in damages territory by now) back. You might want to let them know that in advance to see if it might help change their minds!

I must be close to the finish surely I got my first ever email from SS telling me painting is complete

We have cleaners booked for beginning of next week and they still won't give us a pci date.

Gibson · Oct 28, 2015 10:44 am

Here's a little bit of good news, our DA has just been approved after being in Council for 8 weeks . Bring on the demolition!

Congrats Gibson! You'll have a loo and fence before you know it!

Just to add to the good news our kitchen and countertops have been installed. Looks great if I do say so myself!

Arielbj · Oct 28, 2015 1:23 pm

Gibson, great news, better hurry up, otherwise, your project will cross two xmas. That is 7 weeks longer.

Debam Bingara · Oct 28, 2015 3:03 pm

Congrats Gibson

Been a busy couple of days for us, the bank is taking its time & we are unsure if they will pay in time for our 2:30 meeting tomorrow to get the keys

Movers booked for friday, so we hope it comes through in time.

Still some fiddley stuff to do at the house & it looks like the removalists will be chasing the cleaners out

Praying for a posative day tomorrow with keys in our hands & a good move on friday.

Although no appliances till next wendsday

But we just need to get in while we are both still on holidays

How much notice did everyone get for pci? Also do they just handover the keys at your final inspection of the house or do you have to go somewhere else to get them? We are in the Newcastle area.

MGardz · Oct 28, 2015 5:22 pm

Congrats on the progress everyone.

Does anyone know why the renders would leave the inside of the balcony unrendered to do later?

From memory, we had about 10 days notice for pci. then we arranged for the final payment to be made. Once M receive that, our SS picked up the keys/paperwork from M at Warwick Farm (apparently he goes up there once a week) then we got them the following day (it was about a week after pci).

maybe they do the bits that require the scaffolding first, then they can do the rest later and they aren't dependent on having the scaffolding? we don't have any rendering, so i'm just guessing! ::wornout::

MGardz · Oct 28, 2015 6:44 pm

Thanks Gillym it's bizarre! It's less than a days work. Maybe they forgot or they didn't order enough render or my SS didn't read the plans correctly again...the renderers took all their belongings so they won't be back tomorrow

once they're told they haven't finished, they'll have to come back! but it just adds to the delays, which is just a pain. ::sad::
