Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 181May 28, 2016 3:51 pm Communication back on track after some prodding (I even got a same day response once this week!) couple of delays but we are excruciatingly close. Would love to see a flurry of activity over the next few weeks to pull some time back. The tillers have done a beautiful job and we are at MAX capacity storing all of my homewares/furniture. Not. Long. Hopefully.

Maybe that's kinda what this forum is. Another week- another couple of things done. Slowed down again just when we thought we were getting there.... Ho hum... Getting same day responses but mostly of the "pipe down" variety. Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend- I know the subbies will! Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 184Jun 01, 2016 4:16 pm Loving all your selections, can't wait to see how it turns out My Owner/Builder weatherboard house thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=77475 Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 185Jun 10, 2016 1:01 pm Another day... Another CLO. Left them for a couple of weeks (my mental anguish needed a break too) to a crawling amount of progress- 1 person on site 1 day this week plus air con half finished makes for a very disappointing lead up to pci List of things to do in 2 weeks Plumbing fitoff finish (oh and if tradies you could not leave skid marks in my new toilet that would be much appreciated!!? ) My lovely expensive fittings have disappeared off site too- so god knows where they are (the veeeerry average plumber had issues figuring them out- along with his 'tude problem 2 weeks ago Electrical to even commence Air con to finish External ceiling finish and paint Front door paint Shelving and robes Shower screens Door hardware Texture coat to finish Plaster touch up Balustrade Garage door Clean Site scrape It's never ending- and zero effs are given... Two weeks pfft please ☹️☹️☹️ Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 186Jun 10, 2016 1:48 pm Good luck your going to need it. We are getting keys tomorrow morning still so much to do, painting, floor scrape, patching, electrician, the list goes on. Don't expect much from the clean ours has been done once already it was so bad. Hubby was waiting for the electrician this morning at arranged time ............. no one. I'm going to have my say on Product Review .. no editing On another note your selections look really nice Chin up Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 188Jun 22, 2016 2:00 pm Doesn't get any lower than this... Proposed PCI date today but due to not organising balustrade (despite 5 emails from me requesting confirmation) we are homeless for another month. Honestly CAN NOT WAIT to see the back of this arrogant, misleading shambles of a company. They have literally sucked any enjoyment of my new home out of this. Thinking about slapping a for sale sign on the thing Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 190Jun 22, 2016 8:57 pm http://www.housebythewater.wordpress.com From blank block to new home in Mandurah, Western Australia. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65564 Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 191Jun 22, 2016 10:55 pm Having just gone through our handover my advise to you is make sure everything is done check and double check as we are having a great deal of trouble getting them back to fix the PCI list of things. I know there is a big shake up with people being let go and everyone has been told that that their jobs are on the line That is what staff have told us. Now we are painting we have noticed how crappy the plastering is, it seems to be built to 3rd world standards. At least the building inspector said the house is structurally sound, one good thing But I definitely would NOT recommend this builder. I do you wish the best for the rest of your build Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 192Jun 23, 2016 11:49 am Thanks for your well wishes team and yes going to run over the build with a fine tooth comb seeing as I have all this tiiiiiime before pci it's just that balancing act of booking trades, annual leave, movers etc when you think you're there and then for no reason at all you ain't ..... Need a wine and a lie down Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 193Jul 01, 2016 2:13 pm So close- yet so incredibly far- PCI Monday yet there will be 10% finishes not done. Painter they have had in obviously wearing blindfold or did it in the dark and is using flat wall paint in a totally different colour on my externals. My lovely white tiles I fear will have to be ripped up - due to my (charming) plumber taking no care and marking/damaging most..... I'm allowing myself full blown ugly crying for the next half hour and then chin up as I battle continuously on as I have done for 2 years.... Happy Friday everyone. Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 197Jul 01, 2016 10:37 pm I was only telling a friend today that there needs to be an alcohol delivery service. The delivery driver would wear a cape! Equally beneficial / appropriate if delivering chocolate.
Re: Our Halls Head Beach Build 199Jul 10, 2016 10:09 am Hi there I have noticed you have a heavy stone bench top! Can I ask is this Nought? We are having the Nought and have not come across anyone else that is using it. We are having a grey to the lower and white on top cupboards, although we are now thinking grey on grey. The pain of colour planing. Lol.... By the way your build is spectacular! Very nice views.. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83796 .

You could definitely get away with white or grey. We have polar white cabinet doors. Thanks for your lovely comments I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says. Thanks 2 9563 If you can calculate the reasonable charged head from let's say 100mm below the gutter to the top of where the vertical riser's horizontal discharge pipe will be, that… 11 17530 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17588 |
