Maybe the drainer Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 402Oct 09, 2015 7:26 pm The drainer is really the main thing we want, because we've found that we can't leave metal things in the sink as it marks the surface of the sink very quickly. So there's a tip for you - don't wash your dishes and stack them straight in the sink if they're metal Jen (& Dave) Plantation Bronte, Ormeau Ridge, Gold Coast QLD 12/03/2015 - Commencement... 26/08/2015 - Handover! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76446 Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 403Oct 09, 2015 7:30 pm Ilaeria The drainer is really the main thing we want, because we've found that we can't leave metal things in the sink as it marks the surface of the sink very quickly. So there's a tip for you - don't wash your dishes and stack them straight in the sink if they're metal Haha cool thanks did not know that. Sucks with these sinks you dont have that extra space to drain stuff like a normal sink. Are u supposed to do it on the bench? (If u didnt have the fancy drainer) Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 404Oct 09, 2015 7:32 pm Yeah Dave keeps talking about washing them and then draining them in the dishwasher but what actually happens is he just washes them in the dishwasher Jen (& Dave) Plantation Bronte, Ormeau Ridge, Gold Coast QLD 12/03/2015 - Commencement... 26/08/2015 - Handover! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76446 Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 405Oct 09, 2015 8:28 pm Yea ours don't sit flush either if both are in, but if either or are in its flush.. We went with the slight over hang We have a dish rack that has a metal drainer accessory, but you have to manually empty the excess water at times... So it sits on the bench Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 406Oct 09, 2015 9:01 pm tj9630 Yea ours don't sit flush either if both are in, but if either or are in its flush..

Oh nice i need to get myself one of them Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 407Oct 14, 2015 5:11 pm Handover finally set today for Thursday 29th October! Bit disappointed that it is 2 days later then we were expecting and now we won't be able to move in to the following weekend as carpet call need 3 days to lay the floors. Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 408Oct 14, 2015 5:30 pm Still great that you're finally there!

K-spec picked up 35 defects in total (seriously best money spent!) No major problems to report. Allthough the front of the house was being re-painted during the inspection so that will need to be rechecked at handover. Main items left to do are gas fit off, silicon sealng in the bathrooms, paint touch ups and site clean before handover next Thursday. I have booked in most of post-handover activities. Floors will start next Friday through to Tuesday, landscaper will start on fences and driveway also on Friday. Blinds being installed the following Wednesday and we will move in on Saturday the 7th I have 2 weeks holidays from then. So getting furniture deliveries and NBN installed during that time. Eeeepp getting excited now!

Thanks Illaria, yep they need to get their butts into gear the next week. Yup Phil was awesome. I recommended him to my boss at work who also used him Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 412Oct 29, 2015 3:58 pm Finally have the keys in our hot little hands! I was not too pleased to see that they had 7 business days since the pre-handover inspection and decided today was the day to do all the paint touch-ups...argh! Also only 11 items of the 35 defects had been fixed. SS assures me they will all be rectified in 14 days. The cleaners also did a poor job so i have asked if we can get it done again once all the defects are fixed and SS has agreed. The painters still need to clean up all the paint splatters off surfaces too. Shame there is still so many outstanding issues but happy we have the keys and get started on the post handover jobs, starting with the floors tomorrow Mandatory key in door pic Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 413Oct 29, 2015 4:02 pm Woohoo!

Thanks Pretty sure he goes all over brissy and the coasts. Think he even goes interstate so im sure your area won't be a problem. Slab, frame, enclosed and fixing stages and follow up handover inspection were $250 plus gst and the pci one was $400 plus gst. Strongly recommend them worth every cent.
