Now that you're in, you can watch over my place and give me updates while it gets finished Perth_Euro Hey Kelsey was there a house fire in one of the places just near the first round-a-bout last week? There was. Someone left their dryer on and a passer by noticed smoke coming from the house. Lucky the person was walking (in the rain as well) to call the fireys Also, im pretty sure they left the dryer on the front lawn (for the pickup) so you can see it haha Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-KEYS!!! 706Apr 15, 2015 12:13 am Quote: Also, im pretty sure they left the dryer on the front lawn (for the pickup) so you can see it haha Yep I saw that on the front lawn, and a bit of tape out the front. Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-KEYS!!! 707Apr 16, 2015 9:29 am That's a real pity about something's not being up to scratch, and that Dales now getting things sorted! Like you said I think SS is the big part here, we fortunately had an awesome one, and everything has been looked after.. Couple things I'm still waiting on and probably been a bit missed but not pressing issues so an email to the. CLO will get them back on top... I wouldn't settle without getting the things you want sorted! It really sucks that they aren't doing anything since handover, I still email my. CLO for anything and she puts work orders through to whoever it may be to fix it.. I have had an amazing response from the after handover and honestly thought tht would be happening across the board. Don't give up! It's not your issues to fix and cost you money, you have already payed for the job to be completed at a satisfactory level. If it's not get it done right by the people who got payed the first time!! Ask to deal with someone else if your CLO is not being receptive anymore maybe? Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-KEYS!!! 708Apr 16, 2015 10:23 am Oh Kelsey ... how deflating. I'm in the same camp as Belzey, that sometimes it is easier to cut your losses and fix things yourself, less stressful and then you know the job is done properly. We too have taken keys finally and have spent the last two weeks getting the house ready to move into (blinds, curtains, driveway, security etc). We move in tomorrow. However, I reckon about 75% of my floor tiles have paint spots on them, you can play connect-the-paintdots in the bathtub, there are two different power points used in the house (WTF!), things we asked to have fixed on our PCI list that weren't. We have made them come back and fix the fence and the roller doors get done next week. But the little things ... I've just chalked them up to experience and we will fix over time. I know it should all come back on the builder as they employ the trades, but some trades will never treat your house like you would, to them it is just another job to get paid for, to rush through to move to the next job and their care factor is below zero. Your skirting boards are such a big part of your house, you do need to chase that up. But if you can, enjoy the bones and make the house a home. Don't let DA beat you ... you waited far too long to get into this house to have it make you unhappy.

Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-KEYS!!! 710Apr 27, 2015 4:39 pm Hi Kelsey, I hope everything's going well for you?

I'm really sorry to hear of your quality issues - I hope they've sorted some of them by now. Did you send the email you said you were going to? Did you get any reaction to it? I really hope so x Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17630 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45841 If you are in Victoria you have a statutory right to your own building inspector regardless of builder's consent.
