The bricks got fixed. They look heaps better. The walls got some attention- that I prefer I didn't see and the tiles still need some attention so I have marked them up. Shame to see our shower screen got chipped and our bath is scratched now 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 ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 505Feb 24, 2016 11:47 am Hi Jess, it's getting better. Glad to see some positive feedback. Mainvue Amalfi 530 - Our First build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81745 Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 507Feb 25, 2016 11:37 am Got another quote for our driveway and paths yesterday and it was $20k again. I guess that's how much it will be. It's about 200sqm of concrete all up. Can't wait to get started on that. Can't believe we are supposed to get keys on Wednesday. There is still so much to do in the house and of course no one is working there today. Only someone there doing a bit of plaster yesterday and no one the day before. They can't possibly extend it again Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 508Feb 25, 2016 11:59 am Yup maybe. I'm trying to get some quotes as well for our driveway as we wanted to removed the move in pack. Any recommendations?

Just refuse to accept handover until all the major issues are rectified. Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Phew. Most of the major things are fixed. Lots of little things to do now though.

Plaster and paint finished for the second time but yet again we have some poor quality finishes.

It's looking so much better. It will be great when you move in. You must be craving some space and it looks like you will have plenty of that! viewtopic.php?t=81336 Building with MainVue...Modified Ivory 436...our journey Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 516Feb 29, 2016 8:50 pm jessicana10 Gotta love that our doors are yellow already - don't even have the keys yet. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ What paint did you select for the doors. I've read a few posts & lexington yellowing when painted in gloss. I've read other builders refuse to use it. Funny though as it was recommended to us in Cosham. KDR Under the Flight Path - Dennis Family Homes (Hawkesdale) Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 517Feb 29, 2016 9:02 pm This is just natural white. Dulux paint. It was painted about 14 weeks ago. Not just these door. The skirts and architraves too. It's really noticeable now that some architrave has been replaced and re painted. I can't tell you how unhappy I am with our build experience with Henely. Biggest mistake we ever made. 29 weeks and things are still getting fixed, some bits aren't and the finishes are just terrible. They fix like one thing a week and keep stringing it out. We will end up just accepting the cr@p because we are so over it all Re: H3nl3y KDR Mont3r3y belle q2 week 28 - handover in 7 da 518Feb 29, 2016 10:20 pm From here http://www.duspec.com.au/duspec/file/AUDD0145.pdf All enamels will yellow with age. This can be accelerated by darkness, heat and exposure to ammonia from freshly painted acrylic paints and some cleaning agents, particularly during the drying period. Maybe they need to wait longer between applying acrylics and skirting.
