Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1168Jan 18, 2018 10:51 pm One more action on site today. prep for tiling for balcony, sand and cement base ready for tiling. This guy left the back door unlock ! Feels so good to go in and check out. The place is totally dust galore. The plasterer didn't do cornices he was filling holes and dents all over internal walls. There were patches everywhere. areas where we thought were ok got filled and patched. Wonder if SS was using magnifying glass to check imperfections. Hopefully this means less blue dots when we go through for PCI ..... when that time comes.

Yes they are going to replace with correct depth 680mm. Now the big item is sorted out. Looking forward to see more things completed after we come back from holidays. So everyone bye bye for now, will catch up in three weeks time.

Big hanging cloud removed Our SS only just returned, no progress at all for us. Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1171Feb 13, 2018 9:16 pm Hello everyone I'm back. I was expecting miracle to happen while I was away... to see my house completed. ha! I just had to be content with seeing a new kitchen base cabinets installed ( kitchen stone bench not in), balcony blocked at the front , gaps between sliding doors and bricks are now covered up. spare timber door frames moved outside to alfresco area. Still many items to do. Update I got from my SS was.... he has schedule all outstanding work and preparing final invoice today. I don't want to see any final invoice unless they have completed all outstanding items.

I was too excited as I have been locked out for too long. Had issues with the kitchen window as its wasn't frame from inside and it was sagging in the middle. Happy that got fixed. Previously all drawers were not fitted with soft close hinges, now fixed with soft close, But they forgot to do main bathroom drawers. Lot of sanding and repainting to do. The front balcony floor has been tiled. Things left to do 1. Rendering on pillars to fix 2. Sanding and painting 3. Kitchen stone bench 4. Kitchen appliances 5. All wet area plumbing fixtures 6. Shower screen for bathrooms 7. Electrical fit out 8. Air conditioning 9. Rainwater tank 10. Gas hot water system 11. Stormwater detention pit connection to next door's stormwater pit. 12. Window cleaning / Site cleaning Build Thread : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81624 Landscaping : viewtopic.php?f=19&t=86133 Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1178Feb 16, 2018 6:26 pm Burbank standard door stopper! looks too cheap !!

Things you don't think about when the kids are still little. Pity they put the wrong ones on, least that's a relatively easy fix. Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1180Feb 17, 2018 7:12 pm Bummer about towel rails... what will happen with your 900mm rails then? Hmm what does your colour schedule say about door stops? These are our ones, but they aren’t that sturdy. I saw one broke already, which they fixed - looks like someone just stepped on it.

I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13444 |
