Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 822Feb 25, 2018 10:24 am So are you going to sleep over tonight too? Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 823Feb 25, 2018 11:20 am Yep, no other choice:( acess is easy now through garage to the house , neighbours is also helping to keep an eye out in between while wepack. So thankful for them! They wake up every couple of hours and also check in us and house and bring us snacks and coffee! Will stay throughout the night till ss arrives for pci tomorrow am! Then go from there! But although he said house will be ready/complete for keys we think his intentions was never to actually do it! As the sigh at pavers say not to use till 5/3!!! So how did he intend for us to take keys and move in tomorrow if we cant access driveway and have no garage door and the skip is still there! Feel so deceived atm to bd honest! Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 824Feb 25, 2018 11:24 am But love your neighbours Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 825Feb 25, 2018 5:45 pm agree with the above - you seem to have picked good neighbors. will be interesting to see what the reasons he gives for it not being ready - thats if he doesn't rock up and postpone PCI due to work not completed.

No way! He had honestart called in Thursday and told them the house is completed! And we will be staying there the whole night so we will meet him when he gets there... no pistponing! They allrwady said to bank it’s complete if its not they will have to explain to them and we will hold them liable for any interest we pay in that period... Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 828Feb 26, 2018 12:12 pm How's it going today? I've been keeping my fingers crossed that there is some progress towards pci today. How did you go overnight? Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 829Feb 26, 2018 2:27 pm So we didnt get roller door yet But we got keys and will hve doir today/tomorrow! Most defects was paint wise. A few other bits damaged over weekend and minor other items think was 14 all up , whuch includes the issues we have if roller door to be installed and damages over weekend and the paving of neighbours to be fixed that was damaged by pavers plus the scotia on porch pole and the alfresco door that will be sealed between frame/bricks. And some cleaning things to be attended to. So iverall went well all issues we had in advance was basically what went on the pci form and then paint defects etc. Re: First home build SA Hickinbotham- pci 26/2 & possibly ke 831Feb 26, 2018 5:56 pm Yay for keys.
