They've been "getting back on track" for 8 weeks now! It is comical how many issues we have had. We gave them a complete outstanding list when we changed SS which I think from memory was 37 issues. There have been more since, such as the slab levelness, the twisted hamper, the downlights and mirrors. We have found bringing up too much at once doesn't get us a lot of progress, so we're just reminding them of what we feel is most relevant each week. There's never enough time when he calls, he's always in a rush, and when we meet onsite it usually takes over the hour they allow and we still don't get through of the list. We haven't had an "official" update call for at least a couple of weeks but Hubby did speak to him briefly last wed (I think) and he called about the slab issue the day it was found, so we're hoping for one this week. Depending on how that goes it might be time to put together another email list for them. Some more (minor ones)- -The sewer vent on the roof is missing it's cap -Mortar on the pier went patchy when it was cleaned, I may not get anywhere with this one as they didn't want to do the dark mortar, but it was perfect for the 2 weeks prior to cleaning (brickies did a fantastic job getting the batches consistent) so I am going to try -torn duct insulation, manhole went in the day the heating vents did but I very much doubt they were patched. This was on our pre plaster inspection report, would have been a much easier fix back then. They have mostly been good about fixing stuff, they just take their sweet time and don't always get things fixed before it creates further problems. JG King modified Heywood - Tiling 1154Oct 18, 2017 4:44 pm Nico Don’t forget the garage lights They are the result of poor planning by an electrical girl that was not interested in fine tuning the plans, so nothing will happen with those. The positions on the HPM plans are "approximate" so she wouldn't move anything to be more precise. Good news is we turned them both on in the dark one night and it was lit up like day in there! Hubby will probably just hang a light on the wall where his bench will be. Not sure what he plans on doing there , he is handy, but I've never seen him use a work bench. My advise to anyone going with kings is say no an electrical appointment, just map out what you want and give it to drafting, their electrical plan was much neater and more accurate looking. Re: JG King modified Heywood - Tiling 1157Oct 18, 2017 7:38 pm [quote="aloenyx"]That's a long list!!! /quote] It has been longer so we're not too stressed about it at this point. Tiles are probably distracting us All the tiles are down!! Laundry wall and the dark tiles in the bathrooms are grouted. They had a big day! They told my FIL that they would be finished Friday so maybe that means they won't be there tomorrow or maybe they're ahead of schedule??

Looked fairly fresh. I was under the impression it was an angle because it was quite substantial, but I've checked the engineering and it was marked as 40mm which is the max they could use grout for. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t Re: JG King modified Heywood - Tiling 1160Oct 18, 2017 8:12 pm aloenyx Love love love your tiles!!!
