Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our First Home with My Homes WA, Perth 57Jan 18, 2020 2:12 pm So it's one more week till PCI! It's been booked in for next Friday. This week they were busy getting things fixed and finished. Today they were replacing the master bedroom WIR shelving. Main render is completed. Master bedroom ensuite shower screen is in but they measure the mirror wrongly so still waiting on that. They fixed the bathroom sink and looks better centralised. MyAir iPad thing is in. I placed it between the living and dining room because they said putting it on a single leaf wall would cost more (although would of made more sense). It looks weird but husband seems to think once everything is in it will be fine. Entrance door is stained "black" however to us it looks like a honey brown. I want it darker, they say they'll try but might not be possible 😭 Carpet, blinds, and flyscreens next week, along with other bits and bobs like cupboard bins. Not too long now.... But still so much to do.

Overall we are happy with how the house has turned out. Waiting for our inspector's report to see what needs fixing. We saw a few things missing and chips need that need touching up, nothing too major. Handover should be in two weeks! Then we will be doing the driveway, deck and landscaping. We have booked in to do aggregate concrete for the driveway and side path. Bit annoyed, we unfortunately have a water meter, storm water and sewage drains all in the path of the driveway. We have the cast iron trafficable lids for them and they are butt ugly. 😭😭😭 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our First Home with My Homes WA, Perth 59Feb 06, 2020 12:37 am We have hired a landscape architect to help us plan out our landscaping as we had no idea where to start. Really happy with what he has come up with. The hardscaping will be done by contractors, and we will attempt to do the softscaping ourselves bit by bit. I think he has definitely jazzed up the front of house as our facade is just ordinary. Let's hope it goes to plan.

So it seems like they just take on a lot of projects to get the cashflow for their own builds. COULDN'T AGREE MORE 14 44613 So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled. Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next… 8 32170 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24252 |
