Hubby and I work a lot from home so bad internet would be a real problem viewtopic.php?t=78985 It's crap! I work from home a lot and I've had to resort to getting a personal modem to get internet. It's really not good enough but apart from this issue we don't have much to complain about the new house. We love it and you guys will too when you move in Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Pre-lining inspecti 803Oct 07, 2015 11:43 am sydfam Mona, the house looks good and clean!

What a massive back yard you have . Question? How come there is no blue insulation wrap? Are you having insulation to your external walls as well as roof cavities? I hope your independent report comes back all good, your internal brick work looks very neat Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Pre-lining inspecti 807Oct 07, 2015 7:59 pm Tribe7 House is looking great mona you must be so excited. What a massive back yard you have . Question? How come there is no blue insulation wrap? Are you having insulation to your external walls as well as roof cavities? I hope your independent report comes back all good, your internal brick work looks very neat Hi Tribe! Very excited indeed. It felt like Christmas day this morning lol We do have a huge backyard something which stresses me sometimes - so much maintenance! I am grateful though land is scarce in Sydney! Insulation is going in on Monday next week - no blue wrap though. Independent report is a bit technical I have gone through it - but have emailed the SM to ask what he will be doing to resolve, and have asked CSC to provide in a letter that works have been attended to.

He replied back that he will be attending to what is noted in the report, but not the 'laundry' noggins as that is not in the contract. I knew we added it, and its on the plans - I had to dig up and send the colour variation to him. He will now be arranging for these to be added. Makes me wonder what else they can miss? Esp what we cannot see. We upgraded insulation to be the same as designer homes I am going to email him reminding him of this. I appreciate he says 'it is all per the contract' - but we will never know if we are not on site at the time!

I think we may have to go to site to have a look - then again if it is installed and not in packets, we can't really tell the difference Can't take time out from work either atm! I have emailed the variation to the SM - so it is double checked! also emailed CSC asking how things things are picked. Lucky with the noggins - I had assumed they are going in.

Although, M may just blame the sparkies anyway!! Mona - I agree with gandn the back facade looks nice.
