I knew it was coming but it's still disappointing, especially after he confirmed earlier in the day that they were starting Monday. I doubt we're going to see the floor tiles next week now. Friday is a public holiday here so we'll only get 2 days next week. And unless they leave the window open we can't see in either bathroom from outside . https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t JG King modified Heywood - Render 1054Sep 24, 2017 4:27 pm We had a visit from a plasterer yesterday, he did the small bulk head in the kitchen but not the laundry one 🤷♀️. I wouldn't mind betting the new SS doesn't realise the laundry isn't done. I'm not happy with the position of the overheads since they moved them, they were told "flush with the reveal" but it's not and they still haven't addressed how they are going to deal with the reveal so I feel they have jumped the gun getting the plasterer back. I am happy they came through on changing the bulkhead from mdf to plaster, this is something I asked for early on but after drafting kept getting it wrong I eventually gave up, when the CM met us on site he suggested that he would get it changed to plaster because the mdf always cracks. We're also still missing a bit of plaster above the garage door.

Now I think the Kmart was fine, probably should have saved my money.

This one should also fit inside the sink so I can hide it under the drainer board on those rare occasions when there are no dishes.

Isn't it frustrating when you can see something isn't happening and it needs to be but can't fix it. I think my boot would be having a date with the SS's butt. Very nice canisters too, I saw some really nice ones at Wheel and Barrow when I went to buy my palm leaves, Laura Ashely too (I might of been admiring a print in there ) Agree with Charlie with the shopping, just little things to keep you interested. Love your kitchen colours too JG King modified Heywood - Render 1058Sep 25, 2017 9:59 am aloenyx I'm having that issue, debating whether to try and fix the left over issues myself or push to have the builder fix them... Personally I think the damn builder should be fixing there issues. Look at it this way Dawn, your builder has a business, fancy ute and a nice home to live in from building houses for people just like you. Why can't he be held accountable for his mistakes. It's the only industry in the world that we are expected to accept sub standard work. You paid very good money for you home and you should receive good work.

They need to fix their work. Although I understand your thoughts. We have so many battles on our hands, I know we're not going to win them all, and sadly there are already things we're thinking we can fix ourselves.

Wish we had stuck to our guns more, but circumstances precluded us delaying handover. There were some issues I had resolved to accepting as is, but whilst I was fixing myself later, regretted having to spend more time and money to remedy their poor workmanship.
