I think it will blend nicely with your colours Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 442Jul 01, 2015 9:30 pm Hey everyone finally some positive news. The main maintanence guy came and had a look at our house(had to be when we were both working though so the mlaw had to be here with him) but we left a list for her and she pointed everything out which was good. He has made dates to come back with the correct trades(heard this before though...). However the mlaw will be there both dates and she will make sure things get done . So they are going to fix the balcony door(again), replace the skirting around it that has been damaged by water coming through the door, pull up the carpet upstairs where it keeps creeking underneath when we walk on it & fix the creek, replace the stone bench tops, fix the kitchen cabinetry that is way out of whack on the island, replace the scratched windows, not sure if the brick guy will be there but have to ask the builder as he hasn't come back to fix or clean the balcony bricks since he tried to last time and broke one of our tiles which will also be fixed and last but not least the painters re painted our whole stair well twice and still didn't fix the **** paint and plaster job previously done so now plasterers have to come to fix it. We are still deciding on colour of driveway exp agg but pretty sure we've made our choice will be going to look a the display stones again on the weekend for final decision. Grass is growing out the back even more yay and hubby put down more seeds at the start of the week . Looking into rescuing a dog as well to keep our puppy company and maybe teach him a thing or two lol but will probably need to put pavers under the gates as apparantly the rescue is an escape artist lol. Oh and randomly our back bedroom, bathroom, toilet lights and smoke detector at the back of top floor stopped working. Lucky my cousin is a electrician and is going to have a look at what's wrong tomorrow hopefully it's not too hard to fix. Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 443Jul 01, 2015 11:20 pm Wow atleast now someone has come to fix all you house issues. Hopefully they do the quality job now. waiting to c how ur driveway is going to take shape. Really didnt think there will be so many issues to be fixed and they still havent fixed Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 445Jul 02, 2015 7:07 am Thanks girls lol looks like i swore before but I didn't haha the forum mustn't have liked the word I wrote I know so much to fix it ridiculous but we are making sure they don't get away with not doing it as I think they thought they could since we've been so nice about everything before all this. I didn't write before but the brick guy didn't even tell us he broke a tile on the balcony we only randomly saw it opening the door one day...hmmm honesty could go a long way . Will be keeping you all updated Jang about the driveway Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm growing to like this one more.

I wish for a holiday from this freezing weather Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 450Jul 13, 2015 9:45 am [[Sapphire]] Lol was from our backyard last week when it was really foggy. I wish for a holiday from this freezing weather Oh wow thought its somewhere near sea. And me too wanting to see that beautiful sun out there. This freezing cold is enough for me now Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 451Jul 16, 2015 11:08 pm Exciting news our driveway and path is getting dug out tomorrow unless it's too wet otherwise Saturday then it'll be poured on Monday yay! Also FH are coming to fix post handover things again, they were suppose to show up on Wednesday and tomorrow but only one person showed up on Wednesday not impressed... We ended up going with the exp agg below but added 20% white stones, in the pic it's only 10. Hopefully itll look amazing which I think it will and no more flooded porch and driveway Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 452Jul 16, 2015 11:31 pm Whoo hoo driveway! ! It will look great .. make sure to get all things fixed atleast on monday.. really dont know why do they take this long.. its already more than six months now. Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 453Jul 17, 2015 6:45 am Hehe thx jang my mlaw will have to make sure everything is fixed today as its not FH on monday it's the driveway guys. I know it's ridiculous and things they've already fixed are still broken. Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 454Jul 18, 2015 12:03 am Driveway was excavated today. He's still coming back tomorrow to do the side and box it up. So everything is very dirty and muddy outside but at least it's not flooded . He ended up putting some of the dirt down the side of the house as we agreed because we needed to build it up there but then I came home to find a huge pile out the front and we have to pay an extra 200 for a skip which sucks. I blame FH because they were suppose to have done 2 site cleans(we were still digging bricks out of backyard when we moved in though) anyways I assume when we cancelled FH to do our driveway that they thought it was then fine to put whatever **** they wanted in our driveway and cover it with dirt. This whole pile has so many bricks, huge peices of wood and so much other stuff that the dirt couldn't be reused. I've attached progress pics below not the best photographer from upstairs lol Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 455Jul 21, 2015 4:35 pm DRIVEWAY!!!!!
