Blog: "Race to Oran Park" - updated 25.8.2014 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9333Jan 29, 2014 10:36 am Hello, Just a quick update as I have not been on here in ages. We are now up to the painting stage, so getting closer to the end. We have chosen the colour 'frosted ice' so we are looking forward to seeing it and hope it looks OK. Our bathroom and ensuite are all tiled and kitchen is in, so after painting we have shower screens, electrician finishing off, air con and water tank installation, flyscreens, mirrors, door hardware, driveway (not necessarily in that order-I have no idea which order!!!) and then floor tiles and carpet I think. Hopefully in soon... Cheers, Alison Building Sheffield 25 in the Hunter Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9334Jan 29, 2014 1:02 pm Congrats Alison! Glad to hear it's about to wind up for you guys. firsttimers2013, we had that same problem too. I put it up as one of the top reasons to not trespass on site lol...nicer to be naive about these things! We had a pile of tissues on our bathroom windowsill and a hair left on the toilet seat. Nice! I wouldn't have been as bothered by them using it if they hadn't left behind marks and traces of their DNA. It was like they tainted our perfect, new unused toilet. It sounds ridiculous, but it's such a nice feeling when everything else has never been used before...except the toilet. We had another EBH across the road from us with a portaloo. They could have used that. But, if I was in their position I would opt for a porcelain toilet as well. That is, if I was ok with peeing next to a transparent floor-to-ceiling window.

I didn't really mind as long as they flushed the loo! But my trades weren't considerate enough to do that...You can imagine how I felt when I went in for an inspection and saw what was left behind....gross! Alison great to hear that things are progressing well.

I am really disgusted by that... That really shouldn't be allowed. We pay so much for a brand new house - it should be BRAND NEW! Why would they remove the port a loo if the job hasn't even finished?

Really thought when my kids returned to school we would have had a PCI date, but have got no idea. Our SS told me back in November painters should be finished by Christmas and I remember questioning him about that and he was adamant that they would be finished by then. Well the painters are still there, probably another week to go. The weather is so beautiful at the moment, I can just see it turning and starting to rain just when they are about to start the driveway. Just need a little more patience!!!!

Seems we are all up to the same level - our painter is back onsite after a week off - still going on inside looks like just the final coat, but then as the outside to do - we have been given an indication of 21st Feb for a finish date but there are so many items to be done it will be interesting. I feel the same our driveway is to happen somewhere near 10th Feb - I worry the rain will come and put that back. And our rangehood is still "missing in action" SS has been chasing it and it was delivered by the supplier 17th Dec but they didn't install it and now they are saying they need another 5 days!!!! I believe they have been issued a non conformance notice by EB. My theory is that they used it on another job then could not get a replacement during the warehouse shutdown period. I believe the electrical fit out and air cond vents are due tomorrow or Friday. Also the concretor is to start on repairing the slab issues tomorrow.
