Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building in Botanic Ridge! - Tiling away 141Nov 19, 2011 9:15 pm Here are some pics finally. I have looked through and realised my photos are all fairly average so I'll go take some good ones tomorrow! We have had a few problems, but our site supervisor has been awesome and fixed everything we have brought to his attention. I can't say the same about our rep at Rawdon Hill, who is ..........., but anyway! All that is left to do is carpet and connecting the downpipes, then all those little things that need to be fixed, like paint touch up and such. Hurry up people!!!!! My pantry YAY!!

They ordered a sink with only one hole and instead of consulting with us, just put that nasty thing in. They have been pretty good fixing problems though so far so hopefully this will be fixed soon!

They originally forgot to do our extra high tiling as we are all giants in my family, I am 185cm, so they just tacked an extra 20cm on top, including the border which is staggered so it looked crap, but they fixed it! Problem now is they have also put a 20cm too short shower screen in. Will let the SS know on Monday and hopefully that will be fixed up quickly too.

We have only 8 days left in our rental and with 2 small children wanted plenty of changeover time but they still wont say when we can have keys. The final payment was transferred on Friday and probably the same so and so at the office as you have had the pleasure of dealing with says they haven't been advised of money arriving and will let us know. I wish they would just say hey guys we will arrange your appliances for Wednesday or something!!! I can't arrange anything without a date. Sorry for rant.

Have to be out by 24th of December... Very convenient hey! House should be finished in approximately 2 weeks. We can't get in now as they have put the fly screens on and it's all locked up. Their inspector went through the house a couple of days ago, and there are little dots EVERYWHERE! Fingers crossed there will not be much when we go through!
