Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 284Jul 20, 2012 3:27 pm Cam Kat thanks we are happy to finally be here. We might cross paths one of these days. We had our blinds done today. Would recommend them any day. The moving begins now. The fun stuff. Kids are super excited which is great Still a few things outstanding from handover. But will just have to deal with it as we go. Some things are booked in for next week. Nbn was installed but not had a chance to test it out yet. It feels weird. But on a fun note we all crashed out in front of the gas fire last night and camped out. ![]() Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 285Jul 21, 2012 12:21 am Congrats, Cass!! Happy for you ! Finally !! Which blinds company did you use btw? Do you use roller blind/ shutter? Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 286Jul 22, 2012 7:54 pm Wilcress we are happy to be in. We used Wynston blinds. Roller blinds. Very happy with service and quality and a well priced product. We also got their crim safe doors. Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 287Jul 22, 2012 8:24 pm Oh thanks for the info, Cass... Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 288Jul 27, 2012 4:39 pm Good to hear it is all going well Cass. Yes might bump into you one day. We ended up using Wynstan for our blinds too. Should be ready soon! Glad you didn't have a problem with them. Who did you use for the NBN? I am still struggling with Telstra... NBN Co say it is ready to go and Telstra having issues with information about the street etc... Who knows? Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 289Jul 28, 2012 1:12 am Camkat Wynston were great. We are really happy with the product We ended up going with an iprimus bundle. Optus useless and Telstra not much better. We had a bundle with call costs etc included We got our antenna installed today. Yay we have tv. Still unpacking we are going to try and get through a lot of it over the weekend. Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 290Jul 29, 2012 7:26 am Congratulations, must feel fantastic. What happened to the blog? I was hoping to see some pics? K Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 291Aug 01, 2012 11:34 am Hi, just found your thread. We too have been building with Wisdom (since 1 November last year) we are still not in and have had (what feels like) kick after kick!!! We had hoped to settle today but were notified (via a bill) on Monday that we needed to provide more info to council before they could issue a certificate of occupancy. The have had over 12 months to find this out and let us know two days before settling. As for the cleaners, they were at the house when the PCI was conducted and accidently backed into my car!!! Just another kick... I like you am completely over the whole process and will never build again!!! Regards, Breaker Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 292Aug 01, 2012 12:38 pm ![]() Camkat Wynston were great.

That's good, hopefully our blinds come this week from them! How was iPrimus? No problem getting it organised? I am still waiting for a call back from Telstra, if they can not do it this week then I am ringing iPrimus! Good to hear the move has been going well.

Sorry to hear that, I'm hoping mine won't be that long... Btw, thanks for your info regarding that council info. What info was that if I may know? Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 294Aug 01, 2012 3:08 pm We were required to have improved glazing for acoustics, we now have to demonstate that the glass is correct using an acoustic engineer to measure and provide a certificate stating compliance... Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 295Aug 01, 2012 5:10 pm Breaker, I am sorry you too are having a bad run.. I would put it back onto Wisdom for that one! Council should have picked this up upon their inspections throughout the build, not now. I would make them prove to you that its the wrong glass, rather than the other way around. We pushed Wisdom for the keys.. they are still doing things to the house. The front door is finished... But... the hot water system provided it not enough for the house so I don't get hot water to the kitchen sink... the downstairs toilet leaks they have not fixed the outdoor drainage plus there is an endless list of other things.. unfortunately we missed some things before handover.. lots of little things like the amount of paint runs in not so noticeable places paint overspray on the bathroom tiles.. it looked like dust on handover but its not, its paint. I am very unhappy with the finish of the job and all the little things are taking forever to get fixed... the electricians did come out and they were good to deal with - that was a plus. What is annoying is that I am having to constantly chase Wisdom, but then it was like that the whole build process. Tomorrow we are supposed to have plumbers, painters and a rep from Di Lorenzo come out. the cleaners have marked so many of my tiles its not funny. anyway we are happy but also I get annoyed at all the little things. Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 296Aug 01, 2012 5:12 pm I removed my blog, but when i take some pics I will post them up. I was really sick with an 8 day tummy bug the week we got the keys and I am only just recovering now.. thankfully the rest of my family did not get it... but moving into our home whilst sick was not fun... so I still have heaps of unpacking to do. We have boxes everywhere... lol Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 297Aug 01, 2012 6:57 pm Hi Cass, Sorry to know there's so many little things unfinished. What happened with front door btw? Oh btw, did you get interim OC or full OC? Good luck for tomorrow, hope all the tradies fixing everything you need to. Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 298Aug 01, 2012 8:19 pm What bad timing to get sick when you moved in....must have been hard for you. Glad to hear you are better and you can now get your unpacking done. Hope all the unfinshed items get fixed, just a hassle for you though. Look forward to seeing some pics of the (almost) finished house. ![]() We built the Wisdom Majestic 40 - moved in!

We have two hot water heaters as standard for that very reason Re: Wisdom Majestic - Handover tomorrow...fingers crossed! 300Aug 02, 2012 12:02 pm Thanks for the info Cass, Its interesting to note that your downstairs toilet leaks (ours also, although we dont have possession of the house yet). I'm hoping that our hot water service is sufficient as we took Wisdoms advice and upgraded (we are building the manhattan with ensuites. What exactly is happening to your outdoor drainage? I noted when the frame was going up that a pipe had been damaged and filled with rocks by the carpenters. I mentioned this to our SS who assured me that everything would be fixed!!!
