Lockup will happen before you know it, exciting times ahead Hootie! Our Rivello build in Ellenbrook Re: Building with Visionone in Aveley - More Nearmap Updates 485Jul 04, 2015 11:58 pm It is very exciting JnM, we can't wait! So we went down to the site today and checked out what's been done. Grey float looks good and we are very happy with the progress so far. However we spotted 2 issues which we will seek clarification with the SS: 1) Light seeping thru roof sheets - Not sure why this would occur, but if you look at the pic below you will see what I mean: http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Hootie1/Misc/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-04%20at%209.25.38%20pm_zps8h2vjhcq.png I've started a thread in another section seeking advice and comments from the kind H1 people here... 2) Length of wall for kitchen cabinet is shorter than in plan The length of the wall which will house our top hung cabinets, hob and bottom cabinets on plan is 3500mm but when we measured the wall today it was 3450 after the grey float was applied. My wife is slightly worried that because of this difference, there will have to shave off some length from the cabinetry. We will address this with the SS next week....

On a timber frame, that is the dimension between the frames and the plasterboard lining then reduces that dimension by around 20-25mm total. It might be the same thing for yours, where the dimension is brick-to-brick and the render reduces this. Cabinet makers will typically do a site measure once everything is in place and construct accordingly as there can be many little variances for whatever reason.

Thanks clintdb, I think this would be the case for our build too. MalSannie Love the nearmap images, Hootie, wish we'd done that!

This is free and is basically NearMap for the Perth area loaded on top of Google Earth Hey Althom, thanks for this tip, I will check out WA Locate! Althom Normal to see some light seeping through under the ridge capping on a colourbond roof I am hoping so and can also understand what the other have posted in another thread on the topic I posted [url=started a thread in another section]here[/url]. The SS has been contacted about the light thru the roofing and he will check the items we listed for us. Today my wife spotted someone making notes on the wall, so in effect the "writing's on the wall"!! Which apparently means the start of ceilings? We hope.

We took the chance to go to the house today after the heavy rains to see if there would be anything in regards to the roofing that we would need to be aware of and this is what we found: 1) Roofing needs tidy up in some areas: The first photo is viewing from the front of the house. The pitched roof joins to a flat room behind the pier and we seem to feel that the install needs to be cleaner? http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Hootie1/Misc/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-07%20at%206.14.26%20pm_zpse3jpwuu4.png Issues we spotted - a) Top circle - flashing install need to be neater? b) Middle circle - There is a huge gap between where the corrugated roof sheets ends and the flat roof sheet... c) 2nd circle from bottom - Roof sheet edge needs to be secured? d) Bottom circle - Gutter dented.... 2) Leak in garage ceiling: The gap in the roof sheet in b) could have led to water leaking into the garage ceiling board? http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Hootie1/Misc/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-07%20at%206.14.37%20pm_zpsifm9agpx.png 3) Is this normal method of ridge capping? Then there is this...is it normal to have the ridge capping screwed onto the corrugated sheet in this manner?: http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Hootie1/Misc/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-07%20at%206.14.11%20pm_zpsylt61olk.png 4) More leaks? This was spotted between bedrooms 2 and 3. Logically, our thinking is that with the downpipes in place, fresh leaks like these should not occur? http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y437/Hootie1/Misc/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-07%20at%206.14.46%20pm_zps4yk6l8x2.png We will highlight these points to the SS at our next opportunity. On the bright side.....we have some work done on the upcoming bulkheads and gyprock has been delivered! Which means ceilings should start soon!

It seems faster sometimes when one is building. Already July and we started the process purchasing the land only one year ago...and now we have most of the house sitting on it! Positive thing is that our SS has been super responsive in our queries about the roof issues. He has seen the photos that I've emailed to him and he will get on it asap. The H1 forum people have also been invaluable in giving their opinions and comments about the issue. Today we have most of the ceilings done! The tradies will be coming back tomorrow to complete some ceilings and install the remaining cornices. What a difference having ceilings make! So happy to see the progress today!
