Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 668Jun 22, 2011 11:54 am sheznay looks amazing Wrex!! Weird about the front door? How frustrating to have to follow something up? I am at lock in 2 weeks, so I am still following straight behind you, Thanks Sheznay, absolutely stoked about how its turning out. better than we imagined (besides the small issues which will hopefully be sorted). Mclaren Looking good Very exciting - the stained front door will look Cant wait to see them! stewstar long time reader first post hey wrex i am building the new gen as well in baldivis tho just ahead of you got the bathrooms done and kitchen ,laundry .. just wondering if you noticed the flashing for rain rh side of your front door on the roof.. just wondering if you have said anything to ss to fix as i have the same and it annoys me just thought it looks a bit unfinished with it sticking out like that may just be me tho:).. Great choices with your house looking good Hey Stewstar, Which design are you building, and how come no thread and no pics? :p Regarding the flashing, yes its annoying, it was hoping to red flag it during PCI or should i tell them about it now? have you told your SS? let me know what they do about it. Velouria Wowzers, your house is looking great. I like your internal doors (we just went with boring old plain ones and after seeing yours I wished we had changed them now). Any reason for having the WIR doors installed after handover (excuse my nosiness, ignore if you want to, I was just curious) V, we only upgraded the master bedroom, ensuite, garage entry and pantry doors as these were main areas. left the others the same. It was only a last minute thing. The reason we are doing WIR doors post handover was to save some money, but now im thinking we should of just included them in. less hassle. they will be the same style as the upgraded doors. tinkster Wow! Seems like this build is powering on so fast! Looks great Thanks tinks! yours will be powering along in no time and you will realise it was all worth it! Good things come to those who wait i stand by that now more than ever. miss_petepie looks great the only thing with the jason doors to your alfresco is those handles snap off very easily. we tried to get ours changed as those are standard with HBC but they wouldnt change them ours is already broken and falls off Oh no thats no good, is there anything else that can be done, can you buy another handle to replace them or once they brake, thats it? Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 671Jun 22, 2011 3:38 pm Hey Wrexter, I think all the doors are green to start off with, we have a stained front door. Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside ! Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 672Jun 22, 2011 3:44 pm Candylea Hey Wrexter, I think all the doors are green to start off with, we have a stained front door. Hey Candylea! Long time no see :p I was hoping to hear from you and ask you what was the go. Are you sure they all start off green? There is another New Gen house around the corner and their door was installed in unstained wood (no green cover). I thought the green stuff was only for when they painted it. Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 673Jun 22, 2011 3:44 pm scrap that... just saw my pics, and yes it was a pre-stained door, not green Built with New Generation (Summit Homes) We own land!... with a slab on it! Plus a shell of a house with stuff inside ! Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 674Jun 22, 2011 5:12 pm Wrexter your door should not be green. Get onto them before the painter gets there. Re: the flashing. Once they paint it will not stand out. If not happy with it point it out before the painter arrives as well. Cheers Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 675Jun 22, 2011 5:29 pm Thanks guys. I called New Gen early this morning and they pretty much brushed me off that the green door gets stained and to call the SS to be re-assured. Was not impressed. I didnt bother to argue as i knew it would be pointless. Will sort out with SS tomorrow morning. Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 676Jun 22, 2011 5:50 pm That sounds like crap service wrex. Get on to them. "How dare you call and raise a concern? Who do you think you are?

Re: WREXTER's BUILD (WA) - LOCK-UP!!!!!!!!!Photos Pg. 34 680Jun 23, 2011 10:58 am Some good news and some bad news I was expecting cabinets to have been installed yesterday, so I went to the block early this morning only to be disappointed that nothing had been done. To add salt to the wound, I noticed that someone had stepped on and broke half of the spare roof tiles I had sitting at the back of the house. NOT happy I think it was the painter as I had noticed some work had been done on the eaves, so he must of used the tiles as a step. As this point I was pretty peeved off but the SS happened to drop by on his round. SS was an absolute champ, I had emailed and talked to him on phone but met him for the first time. He recokend it was probably the painter as well and advised I take tiles home with me (what was left anyways). On a positive, he did confirm that the green door was wrong as it was not ‘Stain Grade’ and it will be replaced. Also said that cabinets should have been in yesterday but will go in today. Joe Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. If you haven't sorted this already you need to caulk this gap. Not sure where you are but if you are in Sydney I can… 5 4363 7 3013 |
