Re: zircon's build with SPH - Week 38 - Waiting for handover 463Jan 30, 2011 10:05 pm Hi zircon, i've looked back over thru your thread but can't find it.....thort i read here that you are getting your house keys on Monday????? If so i am so happy for you that the build has finally come to an end & you can start making it your home (if not, please excuse me but i think the heat & humidity over the weekend have sent me loopy!!

Your house is looking great, bet you cant wait to get your keys. Unfortunately I think we used the same septic company as you. We didn't have any issues during the build but after 6 months when we had to change the cells over we did! The diverter handle snapped off the diverter. When we contacted the company they told us we must have broken it and they would not even come out and look at it, said they were too busy. The builder came out and realised it was not our fault and that the diverter was faulty, they managed to get the septic company to supply a new diverter which they had to fit as the septic company was still refusing to come and fix it. We just hope nothing else goes wrong with it as I think the warranty may be worthless. Maybe check the diverter works before handover.

Sonya When they installed our system they buried the diverter so when the shire came to do the inspection it couldn't be found. So we had to wait for the company to eventually come back and locate the diverter before the shire could sign off on it. I'll definitely have a closer look at it, thanks for the tip. It's taken 39 long weeks from the day siteworks started on our block to get to this point but we are finally here - handover! We get the keys this afternoon and I am so looking forward to unlocking my front door. Re: zircon's build with SPH - Week 39 - Keys today!!! 466Jan 31, 2011 1:31 pm Congratulations on getting your keys today. Enjoy unlocking your front door for the first time.
