Sorry to hear of these near-end of build frustrations! Hope we can all hear of some good news soon! Follow our first house build here! -> https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=86484 Re: Coral Homes - Modified Longreach 33 in QLD 416Aug 09, 2017 12:14 am Sorry for the delayed response, been running round like crazy the last few days, hope you are sitting comfortably as this might take a while. Brick clean was done, but hasn't done much, just make the bricks look a bit cleaner - the grey mortar is still grey and it didn't miraculously make the mortar gaps smaller by the front door or repair any of the damaged bricks - but you've gotta give them an A for effort. The area manager for PGH is coming to have a look at them Thursday - these must be the most admired bricks in QLD, maybe they are hoping to stare rectify them.....maybe it's a new technique The plan with the kitchen bench was to have it fitted yesterday, cleaners in this morning and us to meet SS at 10am. Soooooooo, we went to the house today and as we pulled up I saw the kitchen fitters truck - not a good sign. The SS was on his phone on loudspeaker going off at someone to do with the bench top so we walked in and found the new bench top in with no sink - it was damaged when they took it out and apparently let the SS know at 5.30 last night. The SS had requested that the join in the bench top was placed inline with the tap to make it look neater, but they put it in the same place as the last one. The choice was have another bench top made and face another week's delay or accept the one there and decided to go with the one there as it had a real good join and we weren't too bothered about it being in the same place. Also, floors need to be cleaned as grout is still dirty when mud was walked everywhere, hoping the grout isn't stained. The plan is to have the new sink fitted tomorrow then hopefully do handover Thursday morning and be able to start moving in.

We paid for off white mortar that's beige and some of it in a couple of areas has a grey coming through, think it will have to be chipped out and re pointed.
