Gawd, I so want your place to be done and dusted by Xmas, but gosh they will be pushing it. I love the photos though! Your colours and style is just OMGAWESOME I know! Our SS is ridiculously optimistic! I fluctuate between - it'll be fine, there's something like 40 sleeps to Christmas (pretty much every time something happens on site) and there's no way they'll make it, just too much to do (the other 90% of the time). The to do list as I see it (possible some of it has happened): New front and garage door Exterior painting Bathroom mirror, ensuite shower Glass splashback Gas line Data conduit Step (should have had the concrete boys do it) Paint touch ups including tops and bottoms of doors, entire garage and linens. Rangehood cupboard, adjustment of drawers and doors Skirts Plaster issues (out of square hampers/corners, garage finishing, concave walls, cracks) Messy eave beading, including the porch Messy alfresco beams Insulation (done, need to check) Window service (scratches, kitchen seal, dining door flyscreen, laundry door lock) - Hubby did say the flyscreen was done today so maybe it's all done. Torn duct insulation and living heater duct Bent gutter (north side) Retaining wall removal Patchy pier mortar, and other areas that need further cleaning, gap filler needs to be cleaned off Electrical (Fans swapped around, missing light switch, serge protection?, tv conduit) Tiling (Chipped tile near basin tap, grout issue in ensuite, shower mixer tap tile in ensuite) Large gaps in garage Front exterior tap leaking Bath scratched Tapered fascia and capping to skillion Loose manhole framing Ground falling towards house at corner of laundry and garage Plus whatever was on the QA report Appliances HWS Commissioning of heater and HWS Seems like way too much to do, BUT it's not impossible they just need to throw all the trades at it block style! It's mostly small stuff! Re: JG King modified Heywood - shower screens + plumbing 1274Nov 16, 2017 3:45 pm Wow... that's a long list! But true, if they had the people they could knock it over in a few weeks. But like my builder, it seems they like to do one job at a go. You should see my defect list Its growing. a whole section of carpet lifted up when I was vacuuming last night. Grumpy.

He wants to have everything done and ready for a clean by late next week and hopefully PCI on Friday, he's been saying that for a couple of weeks now though. If the chippy turns up tomorrow and Saturday a third of that list will be done! The rest is painting and then lots of separate trades like the electrician, heating guys, plumbers etc. In theory they could all come at once so it shouldn't take long, he just needs to convince them to turn up. There's a couple of things on there I expect will never be fixed but for now I'll keep mentioning them and see how I go. Some I will never compromise on! I can't believe they're actually going to give us a whole another coat of paint! I guess I'll never know if they do, I need a spy cam . Bugger about your carpet! Re: JG King modified Heywood - shower screens + plumbing 1276Nov 16, 2017 7:07 pm Haha.. spy cam sounds good! I wish they'd come repaint my place, nightmare.. Finding new issues everyday, my grout inbetween my floor tiles is starting to get holes in it..

Finding new issues everyday, my grout inbetween my floor tiles is starting to get holes in it.. That shouldn't be happening! They might need to re-grout.

Loving the facade!! And look you already have a nice green plant :p..ok so probably thats a weed. that's the first thing I thought! They left me a plant ! It's a thistle They have also left my "green wall" of weeds at the back, but it's looking a bit sad since they pulled the temp fence out of it. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t I would never build with Fowler homes.
