I think the builder might regret letting us do it ourselves. They left us a sheet with 10 places for defects. My list is 21. There is nothing major. I think the biggest thing is the mortar in the brick work that has been missed. Here are some things we want fixed.

The missing mortar, I am guessing a bush fire weeper is missing there... Re: Our New Home in Gippsland - almost complete 367Mar 05, 2017 6:16 pm Reg there are different gaps for ventilation/weepers. These gaps are left after they took their scaffolding down and out of the brick work. We found another big issue. The day started out well when we discovered our garage door had been installed this morning. But when we looked closer we discovered our slab wasn't big long enough so there is a gap where the roller door goes down and it doesn't touch the slab.

Is it a panel lift or roller door? Re: Our New Home in Gippsland - almost complete 370Mar 06, 2017 9:59 am The builder has our list and says it can be done today. We have booked handover for 5.30pm tonight!!!! I hope it's all ok. I'm feeling a bit emotional today. It's been a long 2.5 years since we bought our land. Re: Our New Home in Gippsland - almost complete 371Mar 06, 2017 10:33 am Great news AJB... What did he say about the garage door?

We still don't have anywhere to sit. Maybe by the weekend we might have our couch, our fridge, washing machine, our bed and our dining set. Lucky our rental is close by otherwise we would've had to wait to move in. We haven't used any of our new cooking appliances yet. I can't wait to try our new oven and our induction cooktop.
