Like lots of others we are at a stand still it seems due to this rain. Nice to meet you the other day, hope it all works out the way you want it. T&G Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2664Mar 26, 2014 5:34 pm Looks like MJH stuffed up my parents plumbing. The garage is getting filled with water due to the rain. Apparently they did not do it right, now there is a drive way on it and the fix will be in the thousands!! Anything they can do here? The site inspector is making a visit this week, but i doubt they will do anything. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2665Mar 26, 2014 6:17 pm K after selecting the bricks you wanted and paying for them I wouldn't want to just bag n paint over the problem either. As a customer why should you have to compromise on the product you are paying for. I hope it gets sorted out quickly for you. ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2666Mar 26, 2014 7:00 pm Nice to meet you the other day too T & G.

You'd think the cleaners would be experienced and would know what they are doing.

I didn't meet the construction manager yesterday as he wouldn't make it back from Goulburn early enough to see. He going in site first thing this morning. I shouldn't have said I could meet him and just turned up yesterday, maybe he would have been there. Just have to wait for a phone call now, but as I told then yesterday there is only one answer I will accept K & J Building Havana 1 McDonald Jones - Brooks Reach NSW Land Deposit 20/1/13 House Deposit paid 27/7/13 Construction Started 23/1/14 Keys Handed over 1/8/14 Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2670Mar 27, 2014 6:22 am I thought we were building a 'brand new, expensive, home' not a repaired home.

I already have one major repair It's unfortunate. Clearly not the brickies fault. What can you do? My first home had cleaners using razor blades to clean all our sliding doors - scratches like you wouldn't believe! all were replaced. So I guess if you don't see bag n paint, or render, as an upgrade, then by all means request for them to provide a solution you're happy with. Re: Building in Brooks Reach - Community Thread 2672Mar 27, 2014 7:03 am We have a roof yayyyy. I was shocked yesterday to find the tradies had been working and our roof trusses had been put up. Let's hope we get roof finished and windows in today. Just need this rain to do one now. Enough already. I will try work out now to post pics and then you can all watch as the house starts to take shape.
