Browse Forums Building A New House Our Acacia Home 813May 25, 2018 4:58 pm bank Great to hear that most of the issues are minor! I can't believe they still need so much time. Was the time set on the oven? I think we had something funny like that with our ovens. Only the light worked until they were set. Yes we have given them more than enough time as we don’t want to postpone things or rebook. We have told SS that we will be homeless in 4 weeks so there is no possibility of moving that date! We could not get the oven to turn in at all there was no timer or clock working either. We got out the instructions and read through but still couldn’t get anything to work ah well glad we have found this out now. Re: Our Acacia Home 814May 25, 2018 6:38 pm You have to hold 2 buttons down at the same time for 5sec. Then you can set the time... we had the same issue. It’s under “what to do after outage or first use”. Hehe they gave us the newer microwave mode with grill function. Maybe you’ll get the steamer version What was the sticker on meter box? We only have termite control sticker. Glad you stuck to your guns for driveway fix! And we’ll down testing the taps, we didn’t and Just risked it Re: Our Acacia Home 815May 25, 2018 6:55 pm ehhc You have to hold 2 buttons down at the same time for 5sec.

And we’ll down testing the taps, we didn’t and Just risked it Oh that’s interesting about the oven!! We should have tried that and read through the instructions a bit more! Our issue was that there was nothing coming on at all, the timer display was blank. Yes sorry it was the termite sticker on the meter box that was missing and then the other thing was something about one of the recessed pocket doors which needed something to pull it shut. Both have been done and SS said he just needed to send photos of the corrections to the certifier. I was so reluctant to turn all the taps on as the baths and showers were so clean and I didn’t want water marks on everything! So glad we did though. Because our baths have tiled sides, they have put vents in the ceiling directly below the bath drain in the case of leaks (like we had today) they just need to unscrew the vent and they have access rather than taking off all the bath tiles to get to the plumbing. So worth doing after today’s problems! We noticed early on we had no hot water despite SS saying he had turned the heater on. We went outside with the instructions and worked out how to turn it on properly! Voila ...hot water!! Re: Our Acacia Home 816May 25, 2018 8:34 pm Ohh nah our display had a incorrect time so it was lit up. It just has to have a tiny icon indicating it’s ready to use and setting the time fixed that. What a lucky find with the plumbing. Still amazes me that there are vents for easy access. What did your SS say about June 22? Is he on board with getting everything sorted before then?

What did your SS say about June 22? Is he on board with getting everything sorted before then? Yes both SS and AM agreed we would be ok for 22nd June to be honest we could have moved in today the leak is likely just a loose connection that needs tightening and we can cook with a stove top, we left SS who was going to try and fix it today. The AM didn’t stay too long in the end, he agreed we could do carpets and blinds and internet before handover. Oh and I also told him if we didn’t get a move in present from Burbank I would be very disappointed!! They both promised us one and the AM also said he needed a photo of us with the SS on handover day getting the keys. Not sure if this is to throw darts at...... Re: Our Acacia Home 818May 26, 2018 7:50 am Haha darts board. The AM can be very understanding hey. I reckon he’s got a soft spot for the owners and he still manages to balance owners SS and company’s needs. So glad you guys shared info about him ages ago... thank you Re: Our Acacia Home 819May 29, 2018 7:00 pm Went up to the site to meet an landscaper who will do a quote for earthworks, concrete path and retaining wall. Noticed the fence has gone and the portaloo is gone!!! After a long 18 months that stinking loo is no more! We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 16088 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them.
