Some kids egged our house on Halloween (rotten kids) and this led to the discovery of a leak from the front bedroom window upstairs, we now have a hole cut in our dining room ceiling downstairs where water leaked in and a big hole under the leaking window. Flashing was not installed correctly in the wall and it needs to be fixed. I'm actually waiting now for the local constructiojn manager, our SS and the brickie to turn up for a meeting to get this stuff fixed ASAP, they were meant to be here half an hour ago, waiting, waiting, waiting. Our front balcony gutter overflows too with moderate rainfall. In all there were 6 leaking taps which had to be fixed, 1 leaking sink drain which was done up less than hand tight, the plumbers have been here numerous times, they "forgot" to install our first flush system, silt gaurd and cleaning eyes into the system also. Talk about cutting corners. Numerous windows need to be sealed correctly inside with silicone. Here they are................ gotta run.

Anyway, congratulations on your new house and I hope all defects have been fixed by now and all is finally good! I'm sure you'd give us an update if there was more work thoguh ... Another thing - has that exposed reo ever been fixed? Was that on the corner of the backyard porch, just where/near the brick column is (seems to be tiled now) ... Cheers and I hope you are enjoying it! Beaut floors, btw ... My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... the stair balustrades? There is nothing special about these and I imagine literally every stair installer will be able to do this. 1 7019 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 8162 |
