I keep hoping for a miracle and to have handover on Friday, but I'm not holding my breath any longer. I'm thinking maybe next week? So glad to hear your tile situation was rectified at last!! I must admit I'm not coping at the moment, I'm struggling with work, the house... I came home and just sat in my room and cried for 2 hours. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1903Jul 31, 2017 10:02 pm I've got turf from Anco, but we picked it. We put a tarp in the back of the car. Can't remember pricing though sorry. Long time ago. They have a little display area so you can see the different types of turf they have and can recommend one that suits. We want to go with Santa Ana for our new place. Our landlord owns another house around the corner which he is slowly renovating. He's never there and it's seems to be really low maintenance. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1905Aug 01, 2017 4:28 pm What does your contract say about the time they have to fix defects after pci? Most people seem to have 2 weeks, ours is 3 weeks. I feel like he doesn't care what the contract says and is happy to just keep dragging it out. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1906Aug 01, 2017 4:38 pm I don't understand how these people are still in business??? A year to build a 16sq house? Wow!! So annoyed for you Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1907Aug 01, 2017 7:32 pm Thanks both. He finally called me on my way home today. He started of saying 'Painter finally got back to me, he will do the touch ups this week, will take him a few days, and then I've got to book the other guys in,' I was waiting for him to say 'so we'll be able to handover Friday after all', but no..he apparently has to still book in the plumber, electrician and etc to come back..and he said he was getting them to check today if they have the right appliances in stock... he asked me when next week I was free to do handover, so I said 'Friday' (so I can do a long weekend)... and he went no worries, and what time, so I asked if morning or arvo is better, and he said lets do arvo so the guys have enough time to get things done... So, I'm having handover at 3pm next Friday (all going well). I don't know where to start... why has nothing else been done? Okay, so painted wasn't available for surely the site clean, inside clean, sealing, brick to be fixed, etc. could have been done in the last weeks? And why are they only ordering appliances NOW, shouldn't that have been done ages ago?? *Sigh* Whatever its nearly over right? I should be excited, moving in next weekend... but I dont. Dont even feel relieved.. just empty. And terrified to ask my boss for time off next Friday ;-; I actually don't think my contract specifies a time to handover after PCI. I don't know how they are still in business Charli.. I don't know how they are making any money on my house, since they charged me 2014 prices.. and its nearly 2018... inflation alone would have eroded a lot of their profit. I can't think too much about the timelines or I get red hot with fury. I did notice that he got off the phone really quick, no mention of the penalties he was suppose to get back to me about 'early' this week. I have to go down Friday to pick up the keys so I can let the NBN people in, so while I'm at the office I will question the penalties and if he's not there (he's good at not being available when we come down) then I will corner one of the admin girls until someone comes up with a solution. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1908Aug 01, 2017 7:37 pm The worse thing is Charli... my build time is 10 months and a half months over all. The sad thing is in 2 month they did prep, slab, frame, bricks, roof, plastering, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, architraves and skirting... It's taken them 8 to paint, tile, carpets, electrical and plumbing....driveway... Need to chase up the fence people, back fence was suppose to go up last week but no one has invoiced me.. so guessing it didn't. Shutters are delayed, no idea when they are expected.. ordered my bins yesterday, hoping they are at the house on Friday so I can pop them into the garage... NBN being connected on Friday... side gate on order.. Have to renew the storage unit for a month to cover one week ;-; Bank has issued final check, so even if I don't move in I am now paying principal and interest on my home loan.. and rent to my parents.. I'm so exhausted. My mum said 'at least there's light at the end of the tunnel'...I said 'that's a train' Hopefully I will feel happier/excited once the day gets a bit closer. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover this week?? 1909Aug 01, 2017 7:39 pm They really arent good at looking ahead and getting all the different things done in an overlapping manner. Its not like each trade needed to finish up relies on any of the others..... Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - Handover Friday 11/8 1910Aug 01, 2017 7:44 pm Your almost there!!!!
