We rock up to the house and the windows have finally been installed; no acess to the house now ![]() Hopefully get the SS to come out on Friday afternoon to open the house so they can have a walk around. Everything with the build is going really well so far. Seems the workmanship is getting better with the slowdown in building; lucky for us ![]() Thanks for the new followers also ![]() Re: Ben Trager Homes- KDR - Week 34 - Shelving and Painting! 133Oct 05, 2016 11:24 am Congrats on lockup.

Ben Trager has been moving this build at rapid speed and the SS is doing an awesome job with lining up trades one after another. 2 weeks ago the cabinets and benchtops were installed. Last week saw tapware and tiling finished. And this week is seeing all the data points, painting, lights and aircon being installed. Hopefully shower screens are installed next week, then will wait for PCI. Fingers crossed we get the keys by Christmas then start the long slug of 200sqm of liquid limestone, modular front wall, colorbond side fence (current absestos one is cracked to all buggery - 40m worth), window coverrings, tiling, carpets, retic, ceiling fans, pool fencing, gardens, CCTV (bought 7 Hikvision cams, and NVR $1,300 from Aliexpress), and all the little things. Hopefully be in by the end of January; fingers crossed. Also picked up some new 4K tv's from JBHifif when they had the 20% off; couldnt decided on the 75 or 70 inch, so got both. The picture on the Hisense is unbelievable. Also had to move all my pictutes to another folders, so they arent showing up anymore. The new timeline pics for the whole build can be found at http://s1033.photobucket.com/user/Aussi ... t=2&page=1 Re: Ben Trager Homes- KDR - Week 39 - Final Stretch!!! 135Nov 17, 2016 9:55 am Aussie, just looking at your shower pictures of the hob doesn't look like it was waterproofed to me, was it? I would be asking for a waterproof certificate, if they can't provide one I would speak to the building commission and asking advice. Re: Ben Trager Homes- KDR - Week 39 - Final Stretch!!! 136Nov 17, 2016 10:48 am Getting there Aussie... Great selection of colours...

Re: Ben Trager Homes- KDR - Week 39 - Final Stretch!!! 138Nov 18, 2016 10:01 am All 3 by the look of it, I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't look like it has been done, also above the bath & vanity hasn't been done, it's very specific in the building code that all that has to be completed.The builder will probably try and say it doesn't have to be done but that is wrong. I'll post a picture of the building code for your reference later today.

Thanks for that Doozer. Will get the building inspector to have a look at this for sure. Cheers. Did the builder organise the certifier?
