Please tell??? Re: Firthy_26 - Updates please?????? 2Mar 19, 2008 2:30 pm Yeah yeah, I know…
It has been a while since I have updated our progress so here it goes… Everything going well, we’ll be in FRIDAY NEXT WEEK!!! Had our final inspection yesterday with our site supervisor & his boss. Since we started building with Carlisle we are on our 3rd site supervisor (which I haven’t met any of them until now) & our 2nd Customer relations officer. In the end we had a 4 ½ pg report on minor issues to sort out before handover. Small things from paint issues, marks in the plaster, general finish off stuff, nothing major at all. This should take about a week to get each tradie back to complete each job. I think they were expecting a nice easy 1 hr walk through… 2½ hrs later after going over the place with a fine toothed comb we signed off the report. Lucky the better ½ wasn’t there also… might still be there! I really don’t want to jinx anything as we haven’t actually moved in yet, but since we decided on which house we wanted to build, going through the options & changes with the display homes salesman (Warren, you’re a legend!), choosing what we want with the colour consultant, doing the tender appointment & signing the contract, everything so far have been a very smooth easy process. I was a little worried that there has been no on-site meetings with the supervisor, but I check on the house a few times a week (not as often as some) as we only live 5 mins away & any issues, if there was any, would have taken care of at the time. Also the guys were nice enough to leave a window unlocked for us after lockup so we can check their progress….. Shhhh!! Apologies for the slackness as of late. Pics will follow shortly as well as the update to the blog.
