Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 241Oct 29, 2015 1:52 pm Hope you informed your SS bcoz sometimes they dont fix mortar or change bricks unless u tell them. I had to keep telling the SS on my previous build to fix those. Bad thing was the brickie came and fixed but I think its a different sand or cement mix and the colour was different to the other Mortar.

Now to figure out how to organize it. Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 244Oct 29, 2015 4:05 pm jessicana10 Looks like we are going to get an independent inspection report now. Too many things are looking rough. Now to figure out how to organize it. Jessicana10 I think that's a very good idea, we used BE from this site. Very helpful and informative. Good luck with getting all your issues fixed. Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 246Oct 30, 2015 6:01 pm They look great all clean! They are quite similar to mine really aren't they!

I love the range of colour variation in the bricks Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 248Oct 30, 2015 6:08 pm Yep me too i love them!

SS said they took the tiles off the wall as they are thicker than the cornice. Not sure what they are going to do to fix this. Also our facade is wrong. We can leave the full length pillars or they can take the top few rows off but then they have to move the 3 JB in the pillars. Anyway, no work going on today or tomorrow so I'll worry about that later in the week.

Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 251Nov 05, 2015 2:04 pm Oh dear that sucks Jess. I guess at least it's being fixed and done properly My Build Journey - Mainvue Amalfi 530 in South Eastern Melbourne https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75810&p=1353804&hilit=mainvue+amalfi#p1353804 Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 253Nov 05, 2015 2:10 pm Hey. It must be disheartening I know but there will be a good reason for the plaster mods.. better to get them fixed now than once its painted. Also dont worry about the down pipes.. a different person does the storm water connection and it will have an elbow in it thats buried and will connect up perfectly.. mine looked like that too. Get good photos so you know where they are now and youll be able to run drains if you concrete down the side of your house Our build - MainVue Amalfi 428 - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75482 Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 254Nov 06, 2015 8:28 pm So our site got cleaned today which was nice. It's super muddy now. But after all this rain I'm not surprised. The tilers came and grouted the floor and remaining wall tiles. Still more tiles need to go up. In pleased to say our grey tiles look much better than our white ones. There is still a lot of work to do with them. A lot of the grout is messy and will need re doing and more tiles need to be laid but at least we got a little bit of work done today.

While the other ones aren't. Btw, your tiles in the shower look very familiar. 😄 Building our MainVue Amalfi 530 - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75694 Re: Henley - Monterey Belle Q2 - KDR 259Nov 11, 2015 12:27 pm The hinges stump me as the big ones are on one side and the small on the other in the same cupboard. Anyway: on Monday they came and did some plaster fixing and started the timber staining. Yesterday didn't really do anything but take all the doors off and I'm not sure what they are doing today. Maybe the eaves. It's is in slow motion now.
