Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 19 windows still not complete 3202Jun 01, 2017 5:50 pm WOW charlibear your house looks ginormous. Great to see someone at work. Looks like he is putting in some gutter guarding to keep the leaves etc. out as part of your fire rating requirements? Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3203Jun 02, 2017 9:19 am Ahh yes you'd be right Henry, we have gutter guard as apart of our BAL requirements. Just happy to see someone working. Hopefully we get plaster delivered soon now that the plumbing and electrical rough in are done... Just currently living for my progress report from GJ... Today marks the start of week 20, we aren't even at lock up - houses are built in less time than this and it takes this long to get to this point - soooo over this Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3204Jun 02, 2017 10:24 am In NZ there is a kids party company called Micah the clown Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3206Jun 02, 2017 2:12 pm No workers today... we've had workers a total of 3 days... We might be in for Xmas at this rate maybe next Easter but I have lost faith for 25th Aug Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3207Jun 02, 2017 2:39 pm I honestly can't understand how it is taking this long.... sending lots of positive vibes your way Charlibear Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3209Jun 02, 2017 9:33 pm Holy sh*t an add for the Grafton GJ came on... never swore so much at the TV in my life GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3210Jun 02, 2017 9:52 pm I feel like your build will be like one of the block episodes, where they have 1000 people trying to finish before the weekly reveal. Will you be using an inspector for PCI? I would recommend it especially if they rush towards the finish line. When I had my pci, I didn't even have ensuite toilet installed! Our SS Wasnt really on the ball for our build. Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3211Jun 03, 2017 12:16 pm Went out to the block, beyond annoyed, the only thing that happened this week was electrical rough in... The rebate for the door wasn't fixed, the sliding glass door for the laundry still isn't in, the garage door still isn't in... no plaster has been delivered Oh someone give me strength GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3212Jun 03, 2017 12:18 pm ads87 I feel like your build will be like one of the block episodes, where they have 1000 people trying to finish before the weekly reveal.

Hey Ads, I tried to find someone for an inspection for the frame stage but no one does our area... there is a company in Byron Bay but they wouldn't come out as it was too far GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3213Jun 03, 2017 12:26 pm I'm so sorry your having such a hard time Charli!!! I thought you'd be in long before me last year. I can't believe how slow they are being. Unfortunately until the contract is up there isn't much you can do to push them along except chasing.

Sorry CB Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3217Jun 03, 2017 5:58 pm I remember the electrical rough in- I also expected things to be booked to quite a tight timeframe and there was a lag. I think they need to make sure the rough in is complete or the delivery of plaster and cornice would potentially be in the way. Once the gyprock arrives and all that frigging around with the external linings and rough ins are done it will fly my love! C U S T O M. C O R A L.

There are honestly no excuses! Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 20... 3220Jun 04, 2017 10:09 am I just had a look back at timelines and my start date was dec 15 and electrical rough in was August 16!
