Their progress is slow but steady and it appears there is still a bit to go. Whilst speaking with one of the guys earlier this week he indicated that they wouldn't be finished until late next week now.
The Rumpus room is going to be "one of those" rooms according to them as the dark paint shows up more lines / bad plastering joins.

There was also the discovery of window architraves out of square and windows that are supposed to be symmetrical being different distances away from walls.
In this case the lounge room has 2 windows of the same dimensions at opposing ends of the external wall. Now from a distance you probably wouldn't notice but when you step into the room it is really noticable.
The left window is 69mm from the side wall at the top and 67mm from the wall at the bottom. The arch is 2mm out of level top to bottom.
The right window is 36mm from the wall at the top and 42mm from the wall at the bottom. That arch is 6mm out of level top to bottom.
Thats nearly 35mm difference between the 2 windows...

I haven't checked all the other window yet either, just these ones.
Whilst on the subject of things being out of square we can also have a look at the manhole.
Not quite sure who was thinking what when this went in!!

On a positive note the garage ceiling got some paint on it today. They obviously removed the garage door openers and paint above them. This is another question answered!!
The garage ceiling is interesting too...
Whats interesting is that "R" said the other day that they used to use 100mm wide wood to fill the holes in the roof around the edges and when I asked what they do now he kind of ignored the question.

I asked if the end of the panels where the holes where could be filled in. I am pretty sure "D" noted it down. I wonder if they will also block the access to the roof space as well. The pic blow is taken looking up against the wall into the roof cavity. Surely there must be something to go in there??

The master bedroom double window is another interesting case. The window was originally fitted before bricks and was removed and refitted after bricks.
When the window was refitted I pointed out that the flashing (the black bit scrunched up in the picture) had been left out. I was told at the time the window would be removed and refitted. After a few requests I noticed that it had indeed been fitted.

Unfortunatley it was not done properly. Someone had the bright idea to roll it up and shove it back in the hole under the window.
I wonder if this meets Australian Standards??
Stay tuned for more Carlisle Homes related issues next week!!
There are plenty more to come

Surely... I would be screaming at them about that one for sure.....
