I looooove Hawaii. We have been once or twice in our lifetime my husband buys all his suits from there for a quarter of the price and bring on 25$ ninewest shoes! you 2 are going to have a blast. I'll let you know If i have any money left over Sounds like your guy has done a great job. Did you go full gloss on your timber? Wow the cabinetmaker sounds awesome its a shame we are building so far from each other I could have piggybacked off your tradeis We think it will be about another 2 weeks to get all the stuff rectified plus sand and stain the floorboards and stairs. Im thinking retractable screen door on the front seeing I have to have one..... viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 925Apr 23, 2013 6:40 am Hi everyone I know Ive been absent for a while but not much to tell apart from hubby falling off his dirt bike a few weeks ago and breaking his wrist which is convenient seeing we are moving soon! So we have received our interim occupancy certificate however are yet to make the final payment as we are waiting for our PCI outstanding items to be finished. Cant see anything from the outside however looks like they still have to clean the bricks and I know they are sanding and varnishing my floors and stairs this week. Will call SS hoping to finalise payment Friday but not hopeful more likely next week. Were on holidays as of 6 May and we were hoping everything would be done by then so we could just sit and enjoy the house but still no DA for retaining wall, no landscaping & driveway being quoted on Wed. Have Sentinel booked for the 6 May and will still need our carpet and appliances installed after that as well as tiling of our front stairs and alfresco. Our balustrade went up on the stairs but I forgot to take a photo. Thought I would share the following with you For those of you needing blinds heres a site for temporary paper blinds - they're stick-on - in block-out black or translucent white. We got them shipping cost free from http://www.ezyblind.com.au/ for $59.95 for 6 blinds! Highly recommended! They will last us until we get our blinds. Over an out! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 926Apr 23, 2013 8:13 am I hope you get those final items done ASAP and move in to enjoy. Husband out of action? there is "Hire-A-Hubby" Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 927Apr 23, 2013 9:30 am Dani, have you decided what you will be doing for window coverings for your stacker doors yet? Sorry if you have mentioned it but I can't remember. Thanks Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 928Apr 23, 2013 9:37 pm Hey I like the idea Vatche That will teach him Fifi we are at locked horns with the builder. As part of our bushfire requirements the house had to be fitted with window screens and doors. Problem is although Ive been asking for the breakdown of the inclusions since last year it was only sent to me last week after I held off final payment because I wanted to see what our 9K got us. Well drove past the house and they have whacked a great big old fashioned grey security door on all our doors including the stacker. Ive refused to pay as I didnt sign off on it and they are saying no refund. Im saying you should at least allow me to choose the colour and style. Anyway I think the coordinator has got herself in a bit of a pickle because she didnt respond to any of my calls and emails regarding the above until it was too late and Im gathering she hasnt told her boss. I was quiet happy to take it on but my husbands patience has dwindelled and tonight he has involved the sales manager. We do need to have screens on for the final occupancy certificate but I begrudge having to pay for screens particularly on the stacker door that I never would have chosen we were going to see if we could get retractable screens.

There is a lack of understanding as to what is the value proposition for the customer, I didnt spend half a million dollars to end up with this finish. Weve been really easy going to this point but hubby has now been tipped over the edge he really hates the doors it quiet comical actually Ive never seen him like this April 30 will be exactly one and a half years since we started and if you saw KDLEN who started in Jan well.....lets just say that didnt go down well viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 931Apr 24, 2013 7:26 am Woooooohhooooo bring on the Fightin!!!!

They are programmed to do what they want. I have mentioned many times to my SS that I'm 5 min away from site and available to drop in any time, if an 'unknown' decision has to be made. DO you think I get a call. They do not bother. Next thing you know, the wrong item, colour or shape is installed in the wrong place! They don't get it that you are the customer and it is your f.cken money.

If we can get resolution on the doors today can cut them a cheque and pick up our keys. As long as something happens with the doors and we get a handshake on it we will finalise we so just want the keys! We are hoping to start moving this weekend. Have 3 driveway quotes two are very competitive and they can do next week! Ill keep you posted thanks for the well wishes! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Clovelly - IOC Received waiting for keys 936Apr 30, 2013 12:20 pm dsa39 Hey I like the idea Vatche That will teach him Fifi we are at locked horns with the builder.

We were actually thinking of having that UV tinting done the one you can see out but not in and not have anything else at all. Luxaflex make this really nice retractable blind but mega $$$.
