It went well lots of walls are to be re painted as he doesn't like touch ups being done as you see the The house has a case of chicken pox and the lounge carpet is being replaced. During the inspection my sister called with some awful news. A good friend of my family's died this morning. I've known him over half my life, he was like an older brother to me and if I hadn't got back in touch with my own dad if I ever got married I was going to get him to give me away. RIP Woody.

Your SS sounds like he's on the ball! It's great that he is organising re-painting and re-carpeting. Goes to show what sloppy standards some tradies have that they would think you would put up with it or not notice it.

Re: Chateau Lisa - RIP Woody 1700Sep 22, 2009 1:16 pm Thanks everyone, I got the call just as I was starting the PCI, not a great time but it's never a great time to hear such news really. It's a bit difficult to get excited and be happy about my house today. As I mentioned earlier (I was posting from my iPhone while waiting for Telstra) the carpet in the meals/family area is going to be replaced and tlots of walls are going to be fully repainted - the two sides of the entrance, the two main walls of the meals/family plus the toilet is going to be re-sanded and painted as you can see some plaster joins, a laundry wall will also be re done. 3 lights weren't working so they will be fixed, the outside junction box will be changed. The laminate bench in the ensuite will be fixed/replaced. The front render will be fixed, the power point int he bathroom has had to be put in the cupboard due to the smallness of the room and proximity to water sources and the post at the front of the house will be fixed properly. And then there are lots of bits that need repainting around the cornices etc due to movement and they will probably need to be re-done at the 3 and 12 month checks too... c'est la vie I forgot the hair dryer so I didn't check any power points but I'm really not too worried as my SS has said that he looks after things for the first month, so anything I see that needs fixing he will get fixed in that first month and then it goes to the maintenance people and that alone leaves me feeling good as I know he does a good job. I took photo's but really can't be bothered posting them as nothing has changed other than the addition of the red dots... splashback will go in later this week. It takes a while as they can't measure for it until the stone bench tops are in and then they need to cut the glass and then send it to the painters to be painted. Oh and my phone got connected today! The appointment was meant to be for 8am-12pm but at 11:30 he came past and I told him how glad I was he arrived and he said he is about 4hrs early - they moved my appointment to 1pm-5pm and no one told me, anyway he had another one for a house just down the road so he did mine at the same time! I was meant to go back to work this afternoon but just not in the head space for it. I'm also mean to help officiate/judge a cycling event my club is running tonight and I just don't know if I will or not yet... feeling pretty crappy and not in the mood to be around people 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'
