Aussie - sorry to hear about the dramas you're having. Even though your grievances aren't the end of the world, it's still a pain in the a*se having to experience them, particularly considering the amount of money we're all spending in building these darn houses. I found Boutique's customer service a bit hit and miss.
Shalee - we're only been in our house a few weeks and I've already chipped a bit of the topcoat off while trying to wipe a mark off the wall. In our last house we painted the walls with Dulux's wash and wear stuff and I just assumed the Solver paint would be the same. But no. Szep's suggestion to upgrade to a 3-coat system is a pretty good one I think.
And as for our appliances, I agree with Padams about the dishwasher and microwave. Our rangehood seems to be okay. Our stove is great. But I've found the oven doesn't heat up very well - I usually have to raise the temperature a bit higher than I normally would on other ovens I've used. I'm getting used to it though but it was a pain in the beginning.

Thanks also Genghis. Sorry for the delay in responding as we just moved to a rental house a week ago which is where we will be staying until we get the new one built. So I'm still getting things sorted out here.
I wasn't really expecting to have to upgrade the number of paint coats but it looks like it might necessary.
