Is rendering just going to the front portico? You must be eager as I am to see the back of the scaffs viewtopic.php?t=78985 Hi Franky - yes we have got the same colours - basalt downpipes, and surfmist fascia. Yes - rendering is going to the front portico. Definitely looking forward to the scaffolding being off - and us being at lock up!!!

We could use H0usepect which a lot of people on this forum use - but I had heard really good feedback re HR. Sydfam - any more feedback on H0usepect? Franky - are you doing a pre-lining inspection?

We found them to be great.....very thorough. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Eaves and Rendering 665Sep 19, 2015 11:06 pm Franky40 Hi Mona - yes we are using Houspect. We found them to be great.....very thorough. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Thanks Franky - good to have a back up. I will get in touch with them to see how much notice we need to give them - in case HR can't do the pre-lining inspection.

Our inspector was an experienced builder in the area. However he apparently missed two issues that had been picked up by our certifier. Sheilzy seemed to be very happy with theirs.

It is looking very grand - bigger than we had expected. I think we are 2-3 weeks from lockup.

And here you are! Great news, congratulations. Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Eaves and Rendering 672Sep 23, 2015 7:49 am Thanks jsmi! It came as a surprise... i wasn't expecting it. But then there wasn't anything else left to do.
