You're comments aren't really helping StructuralBIMGuy. You are actually making out its our fault. We're not builders, how are we supposed to know things like that. You are being down right rude actually.

LOL fair go... one day you are "fangirls" the next it's a lynch mob
Others will judge accordingly and No doubt hopefully they will learn from these mistakes.

Hahahaha stop it, you're killing me hahaha NOT. Go away you rude man.

Is there somewhere on this forum we can report that structural BIM guy- he is a real douche canoe on literally every thread I read....

The red exclamation mark on the bottom right of each post is for you to report the post! Just found it

Getting closer but still have a lot of plumbing and electrical to do.
Balustrades went in Friday but not sure how they can render now, may have to remove it first? I'm sure the SS is onto it.

U may want to ask the q about the render now. If they're onto it, u'll know gor sure and if they're not, u'll be glad u brought it up now. The end is in sight!

Lovely looking home Dongster!

DandyDons83 · Dec 05, 2015 9:51 pm

Looking good Dongster. Keys will be in your hands soon

I love the big open windows at the front that wrap around, i got told I couldn't have windows on the side of my house because they look into neighbours properties, yet you'rs look to go all the way around the side.. I wonder if that is a council ruling or something.. Looks amazing though!

Dongster · Dec 05, 2015 11:23 pm

It's all to do with R-codes (distance from the boundary, habitable rooms etc) and if neighbours object or not.
You can always have windows but may have to apply translucent film to prevent looking out.

You have to love tradies don't you.

Our brand new Tassie oak stair treads laid on Friday are now all chipped and damaged on the front of them. Looks like some nice tradie has just scuffed his way down with his work boots on or something similar. Not sure why they did not have a protective layer placed onto them to protect them or a no shoes policy. I just don't get the trades employed to build our house, surely they have references right ::angry::

I hope whoever did this has to pay for an entire new set of stairs as we won't be accepting a second hand lot.

Today we find this in one of our bedrooms. Yes it will be fixed but then it will be just another patch up job, words just escape me.

Aww man Dongster words fail me sometimes. What were they doing in the roof?

Dongster · Dec 07, 2015 10:47 pm

Assume electrical work for the LED's. And some fitness cardio work on the stairs perhaps?

DandyDons83 · Dec 07, 2015 10:55 pm

Hope you have no problems getting it all fixed.

ronfire · Dec 07, 2015 11:07 pm

Oh man......unbelievable. Some tradies need a 2x4 on the side of the head.

Dongster · Dec 08, 2015 9:51 am

Waiting on Ben to get back to us on the state of our stairs, ceiling, render, electrics, and overall build in general. Let's just say we are not happy at the moment.

Dongster · Dec 08, 2015 10:30 pm

Met with Ben onsite today after airing some concerns over quality on our build, good he could meet us onsite as we have not been happy. Still lots to be done and fixes to occur but he assures us this will be done. New is new, patched up in my books is acceptable in small quantities but not when it seems to occur at nearly every stage.
Many trades onsite and they were treading on our stairs so gently whilst I was standing there. We are wanting these fixes rectified ASAP and are waiting to hear back about when this will be finished.
The ceiling damage and stairs are to be fixed which is good but such a shame that more care has not been taken initially.
A nice tradie also decided to use our shower as his toilet. ::angry::

OMG - that's terrible.
We're having a rotten time with our builder too.

DandyDons83 · Dec 08, 2015 10:52 pm

So what did he have to say Dongster? As for the tradie using the shower, that is disgusting

Dongster · Dec 08, 2015 11:31 pm

He said that things would be fixed and the build will be of good quality.
