Maybe will give you that 2 weeks.12 Mar 2017 717 SA Gold Member Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 491Dec 05, 2017 2:17 pm Problem probably is though it just takes one incident to delay multiple sites as they try to rectify it and then has a snowball effect. Lovisa You have probably been hit more than the once your aware of and that just keeps adding to delay. If i reach lockup before they shutdown in 2 weeks i will be happy. Otherwise can imagine post christmas needing more rework 04 Jul 2017 1,146 Gold Member Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 492Dec 05, 2017 2:21 pm Our friends is on locup and got cupboards/cooling piping and wires stolen on Sunday The thing is we go there every da and brickies was there 2, they really didnt fix any thing so could not been hit again if there was nothing to take With the change in the ss it caused us at least a week for him to go and assess the probem. would be good to have linigs in garage ad doirs if tradies time is an issue before they do electrical then at least more protected 06 Dec 2017 2 New Poster Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 494Dec 07, 2017 9:22 am Hi Entilzha, Great to know so many information about your build journey...sounds exciting.

Good Luck Naina 12 Mar 2017 717 SA Gold Member Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 495Dec 08, 2017 7:37 pm well bricking now looks completed - might pile up the left overs for myself - maybe a home made BBQ down the track Linings has progressed and they did a good job of putting my tv cable conduit in a spot where i will easily locate it (i asked the tradie this morning to do it for me as still coudlnt access that section of wall) I now have a power meter as well. One issue i noticed today is the external power points on the rear wall have been put at different heights one is 5 bricks from ground and the other is 7 bricks from ground - hoping they can rectify that easily or fix it as think it will look odd. the wall mount lights on the back wall are both correct at 3 bricks down. Advised builder and they will look into it but with linings completed and a D2 OS'Brace in the way that will be fun to fix  The last 2 days have been only times i have gone on site in the morning and must say im quite happy with the amount of light getting into the rear living area. though once pergola goes up that might change (now looking at a pitched pergola with a a colorbond roof on the NW facing side and a transparent roof on the SE (house) side - should let in in plenty of light and keep summer afternoon sun of the rear of the house i hope Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ 04 Jul 2017 1,146 Gold Member Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 496Dec 08, 2017 8:10 pm 😱 No idea what they are trying to do at ours looks more like nothing ... Excess bricks get used with plumbing of bathrooms and ensuite We got toldthat we only paid for the ones that wasused and not the excess. Builder can remove them at any time either for another site or to re sell 😱 12 Mar 2017 717 SA Gold Member Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 497Dec 08, 2017 8:43 pm yep will leave them and im sure they will be gone at some point. was a passing thought i had as i hate wastage and trying to approach post handover with a minimalist attitude and hating seeing the wastage that seems to occur while building. Hi, I'll be starting on my verandah repair soon - replace ledger, rafters, roofing iron, flashing etc. (fascia board already done). My question is about the timber ledger… 0 7904 1 10916  |
